Perspectives: Asperger's and Empathy

What about empathy in Asperger's?

This post is in response to
Empathy, Mindblindness, and Theory of Mind

Some time ago, in my post Empathy, Mindblindness and Theory of Mind, I wrote about Asperger's and empathy. In a new feature, here on the Asperger's Diary blog, I thought I'd share another Aspergian perspective on this hot button topic.

This video was created by Bev at Asperger Square 8. Being a visual thinker myself, I really enjoy how she is able to convey her point simply, clearly and visually - with only a few words (and a little whimsy thrown in). What do you think about what she has to say?

From time to time I'll be featuring videos, profiles and stories highlighting different Perspectives on Asperger's and autism. Have one you want to share? E-mail me.
