RE: Empathy

On the one hand, I score LOW on SBC's EQ test.

On the other hand, in the "language of emotions" study the research showed that the "problem" was not feeling of emotions but recognizing them in others.

Schwarz says that all the autistic adults he knows over the age of 18 have a better sense of what others know than the Sally/Anne test suggests.

About that: I can know what others know, but when I have to assume what they think that I (or someone third) know(s), I'm totally at loss.

That's what you need for scheming. That's why NTs can do it.
