Anemone,

I got:
Fantasy: 0
Perspective-taking: 0
Empathetic Concern: 4
Personal Distress: 0

They "proved" a long time ago that people with Autism "have no empathy" (most had "no empathy"), long before the EQ test by Cohen. I'll find some sources when I'm feeling less sedated/more interested. Since ASDs have broadened, they've turned it into "lacking empathy [to various amounts]", rather than "none at all" like in the past.

empathy means one must be overly concerned with "em's"
