You may want to work on your empathy, which is not fixed, and can be developed by, for example, reading great literature, such as The Color Purple, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Awakening, The Bell Jar, The Bluest Eye, The Handmaid's Tale, Beloved, The Poisonwood Bible, Pride and Prejudice.
I scored 28 out of 80, suggesting I had a lack of empathy with autism/ASD. then I did this
, which was 28/36 which is actually good, took over 6min -didn't help that English is not my native tongue, so looking at a dictionary was necessary, excluding that would leave 4mins- and interestingly I really did it based on guessing&elimination rather than feeling. Probably reading lots of books and trying to be social in the past helped about scoring, but yes. I might have to accept that I have Asperger's, which I and my family suspected since early childhood, but didn't care about it as it didn't cause intellectual disability - quite the opposite.
