Yes, many NTs show no empathy whatsoever.

It's possible for NTs to have little sympathy and compassion.

Thanks I thought so. I am NT myself but have TONS of empathy, compassion just wish my Dad did too. It seems alot of the time he doesn't care about what I say, he doesn't seem to care when my brother gets a pay rise or when I get a great bargin.
Oh well at least he cares about good things my little boy does. In fact the only time he does seem to care is when my boy does good. |

| I think that NT's have a hard time showing empathy and compassion just like everyone else. I know some NT's that have a really hard time showing empathy and compassion toward me because of my Asperger's Syndrome. Dawn |

An NT is someone that isn't autistic. Meaning someone that doesn't have Asperger's, autism or isn't on the autism spectrum. I really hope that that helps you out. Dawn |
