The concept of empathy bothers me altogether. It has so many parts that no one ends up empathic. Normal people with normal upbringing don't give a damn about kids starving to death or dying in bomb raids. Normal people do not understand when or why a spectrum person is upset.

I don't care if I have empathy or not. I want rather to be seen as a caring person. And not a blindly caring person, cuz that is well.. dumb.
