Well, so far we're (overall) below average on the first three scales and above average on the fourth, but: people are scoring across the complete range, which tells me we come in all types.

Do people think this would be a useful tool for talking about empathy in autists vs others? It's supposed to make it easier to understand what people are talking about wrt empathy. Of course it might just annoy people who already have all the answers.

Between male and female norms in all cases except personal distress where I am low. Of course, nothing was really clear, so I don't trust this.
