Theory Finds That Individuals With Asperger’s Syndrome Don’t Lack Empathy – In Fact If Anything They Empathize Too Much. “A ground-breaking theory suggests people with autism-spectrum disorders such as Asperger’s do not lack empathy – rather, they feel others’ emotions too intensely to cope.”
“People with Asperger’s syndrome, a high functioning form of autism, are often stereotyped as distant loners or robotic geeks. But what if what looks like coldness to the outside world is a response to being overwhelmed by emotion – an excess of empathy, not a lack of it?

Now here is where it gets confusing! We all have these three impairments: I Have Nonverbal Autism. Here’s What I Want You to Know.

There is a small amount of emerging data to suggest that autistic individuals are more likely than the general population to identify as asexual, queer or trans. Yet queer autistics are often excluded from the non-autistic LGBTQ community based on inaccurate stereotypes about their ability to empathize and desire intimacy. April is nationally designated Autism “Awareness” month, but activists from the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) are running a #AcceptanceIs campaign to encourage people to change the narrative and think in terms of “acceptance” rather than “awareness.” “A lot of people are ‘aware’ of autism, but that doesn’t mean they have a meaningful understanding, or that they’re thinking about ways to include and accommodate the autistic people in their lives,” said Julia Bascom, Director of Programs for ASAN via e-mail.

Every so often, someone says, with perplexity, "I seem to be getting more autistic. I don't know why, and I know that doesn't sound possible, but it seems to be happening. " Those of us who experience this are often surprised, because of the general perceptions that are out there about autism.

Spectre autistique par James Coplan traduit en Français. Autistic and non-autistic brain differences isolated for first time. Lizzie Bruce 20 Mar 2015 The functional differences between autism and non-autistic brains have been isolated for the first time, following the development of a new methodology for analysing MRI scans.
New big data methodology can potentially isolate the areas of the brain involved with other cognitive problems, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD and schizophrenia. Developed by researchers at the University of Warwick, the methodology, called Brain-Wide Association Analysis (BWAS), is the first capable of creating panoramic views of the whole brain and provides scientists with an accurate 3D model to study. The researchers used BWAS to identify regions of the brain that may make a major contribution to the symptoms of autism.
Autism-linked DNA deletion may derail brain development — Hot hubs: Researchers have mapped the binding partners of proteins encoded by the 16p11.2 region (red).
Missing a swath of chromosome 16 with strong ties to autism disrupts proteins that are crucial for early brain development, according to a study published 18 February in Neuron1. The findings open the door to targeted interventions, says lead researcher Lilia Iakoucheva, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.
“Getting to this more specific pathway is very valuable,” she says. About 1 percent of children with autism have a deletion or duplication of 16p11.2 — a 600-kilobase stretch of DNA that includes 29 genes. This region also affects head size: People with a deletion of the region have unusually large heads, whereas those with a duplication have unusually small heads.

They looked at 374 individuals who had been diagnosed by the Cambridge Lifetime Asperger Syndrome Service (CLASS) clinic in Cambridge, UK between 2004 and 2013.

Note: Although this is not a major area of misdiagnosis today, we receive one or two e-mails a week concerning this subject. Social anxiety and Asperger's disorder are very different in nature and should not be confused.
Social anxiety disorder is markedly different than Asperger's Disorder in that Asperger's is a pervasive developmental disorder (also called a milder version of autism) and that people with social anxiety disorder do not display the patterns of behavior expected in definitions A and B. Asperger's Disorder is "a milder variant" of Autistic Disorder. Both Asperger's Disorder and Autistic Disorder are in fact subgroups of a larger diagnostic category. This larger category is called either Autistic Spectrum Disorders or Pervasive Developmental Disorders" according to Dr. Spoons and Splines: the Laws of Thermodynamic Autistic Motion.

Autism: From Mind Blindness to Context Blindness - Autism Asperger's Digest Autism Asperger's Digest. By Peter Vermeulen, PhDAutism Asperger’s Digest | November/December 2011 What makes social interaction so difficult for people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)?
Traditionally, we have attributed it to both brain physiology (different “wiring” of the brain) and social skill/social understanding challenges, often referred to as impaired perspective taking or “theory of mind” (ToM). We use the term “mind blind” with this population and assume it is this mind blindness that makes it difficult for individuals to relate to others. However, recent research on the social abilities of people with ASD is suggesting that mind blindness is but one piece of the intriguing puzzle about how individuals with ASD think and process the social world around them. The idea that people with ASD lack social skills and social cognition is based on years-old studies involving younger subjects with autism who also had lower cognitive abilities.

La théorie empathisation-systématisation (ES), développée par Simon Baron-Cohen et collègues, cherche à classer les personnes en fonction de leurs compétences dans deux registres : l'empathie et la systématisation. Ce modèle mesure ces compétences en utilisant les Quotients d'empathie (QE) et de systématisation (QS), et vise à expliquer les difficultés de communication et de sociabilité dans les troubles du spectre autistique par des déficits et des retards dans l'empathie combinés avec une faculté de systématisation intacte ou supérieure à la moyenne[1],[2].
