[quote=Anonymous]On the empathy issue this might be helpful. https://www.autismresearchcentre.com/project_1_empathy Remember that diagnosing ASD is to a certain extent subjective. It's often based on an interaction test called ADOS and parent and teacher evaluations or interviews. There are some well respected autism experts that have said they would rule out ASD in a child with a very good or sophisticated sense of humor but I don't know if this is something that is typical or well known. What is an atypical case? How would that present according to the therapist? [/quote]
