People with autism are often blamed for "not having empathy" from neurotypical people, which is wrong. They actually often are compassionate and caring but respond differently to expectations. That is because of the "double-empathy" problem that creates a mismatch between autistic and non-autistic people. That is to say, people from the same neurotype often understand each other and can relate, and have an empathy style that matches.
This separation between neurotypes, though, is not a rule, and can be reduced once you understand the 'wall of glass' theory.
