Autism & Types of Empathy
I read these articles (links below) a few months ago and learned a lot from them. Hope you find them informative &/or helpful as well!
I’m interested to hear about your thoughts on this—particularly about Damian Milton’s double empathy problem and Dimitri Bolis’s dialectical misattunement hypothesis.
"…we often present with reduced affect display … This can easily be confused with a lack of emotions, which is then often confused with callousness … But I assure you, whereas we may outwardly appear emotionless, internally we tend to have very strong emotions."

LOL, I do that too! look at a person's mouth when they're talking, I mean. It helps with comprehension somehow.
