You're confonding "empathy" and "sympathy":
Empathy is the decoding of the emotions and the intentions, it's what aspies lack.
Sympathy is caring about others, it's what sociopath lack.
Sociopaths don't lack emapthy and they use it to manipulates others. Contrary to us aspies, sociopaths don't have difficulty to integrate themselfs in groups as they are quite charismatics and lies using what they decoding from peoples.
Could you
be more wrong?
The definition of someone with an antisocial personality disorder is that they have NO empathy.
Empathy is the lack of understanding for other peoples emotions, its not failing to interprit them. Sociopaths/Psychopats are antisocial, they are the predators in society (Not all necesserely serial killers), Aspies/Auties are more the asocial type that can "get by" with little social interaction or just shuns the whole thing and go "f-all" to social interaction because we do not "get it".
Before you write something, please check the diagnostic criterias for a certain disorder. I've seen my share of asses (sales people) on stage doing
wikipedia psychology just because they want to sell something - and that seriously pisses me off.
