More on Autism and Empathy:

       I found these excellent sites today. If you click on them try to look through them and not just what's on the cover page. This all goes to show that Autistic people are not necessarily cold, even if they come off that way at times. Perhaps for me my Italian-American background balances off some of my Autistic traits. I can't speak for every person on the spectrum but for people who say they have "NO" empathy, it may be more the opposite: http://www.autismandempathy.com/?p=434
