Please do not make the mistake of thinking that people with AS do not have empathy. We do, but there is a difference in having empathy and being able to express it in a way that people understand. Most of the people I know, including myself, have empathy and compassion and usually sensitivities that are difficult to filter or control. It is all in the delivery. It is like a broken aerial trying to pick up a radio signal. If you cannot understand or pick up the 'signal', you cannot interpret it. I am not being critical, it just is how it is.

And Omers is right, AS or not, if this person is not treating you the way you deserve to be treated, then you should consider the validity of the relationship.

Take care,
