I have ASD and lots of empathy. Everyone I personally know with ASD has empathy. The main problem is with reading social cues. When you have a hard time determining what someone is feeling or missing the cues it is very difficult to empathize at the time. I often miss it but I will realize it later on. Sometimes people don't know how to respond and/or hold back because of the fear of saying something offensive.

P.S. Your post was a bit dismissive.
