It depends on how old they are if you have a teenager with aspergers empathy may be a difficult concept to explain. However if you have a small child with AS. around age four or so it may be easier to teach empathy. you might want to start by observing how they behave around others. when I was little and peole saw me doing things rthat were inappropriate they would say how would you feel if i did that to you and it took some tiome but i got the idea. but it really depends on how old your child is the younger your child is diagnosed with AS. the more likly they will be able to learn empathy with your help.

∙ 11y agoOf course they do. Having a mental disorder has no affect on your emotions or sense of judgement. Being Autistic does not mean you are not human. It just means you are different. It is true that they do not always express emotions the same way most people do, but this is simply because they see the world differently, but they are still human beings.
In fact, Autistic people are even more emotional than non-autistic people because they get stressed out very easily.

Aspergers is not a mentall illness it is not a diesease you can,t catch aspergers by being around someone with aspergers. People with aspergers are born with it. Although aspergers affects the way people think and veiw the world it is not a diesese. Recent aspergers studies have shown that in brains of people with aspergers there is a difference in the way the brain is wired and set up. and there have also been studies of aspergers brain waves and it showed the brain waves of people with aspergers differed from nerotypical brain waves. Just because people with aspergers think differently does not make them mentally ill there is a huge difference between the two.

Is a relationship with a person with asperger's syndrome doomed?
Not at all.People with Aspergers fall in love and care about people, just like people without Aspergers.The thing is, people with Aspergers have their own style of communication, and people without Aspergers have a different style of communication. Emotions manifest in certain ways in persons with Aspergers, and in slightly different ways with non-Aspergers. So sometimes two people both with Aspergers get along well, because they understand eachother, and can read each other's emotions better. Sometimes neurotypicals (that is, people without Aspergers) don't propperly read the emotions of someone with Aspergers, and vice versa. So there can be challenges in a neurotypical/Aspie relationship, but that relationship is not doomed. You just have to both learn to understand each other, which is perfectly possible if you both want to.The important thing to remember, is that each person with Aspergers is a unique individual with an individual personality, just like each person without Aspergers.I have Aspergers. My closest friend does also. We have a lot of affection for each other. Sadly, not everyone else understands me. But he does. Our friendship proves that we are capable of deep emotionally felt love.And it really is possible for a deep relationship to exist when one person is neurotypical (not aspergers) and the other has aspergers. But it does really help when you understand Aspergers.Aspergers: Capable of deep love, like anyone else.May have more subtle or different ways of showing emotion.Tended to be socially awkward when young. May have learned social skills in adulthood, or may still come across as a little weird.Will always have an Obsession. What this is about, depends on the individual. If he/she is in love with you, you may be their Obsession.
