Incidentally, I vaguely remember reading some research (okay, some abstracts, the journals were behind paywall) to the effect that people with ASPD and people with ASD both have abnormal gray matter to white matter ratios, but in the opposite directions. So on the one hand you have a population which is good at reading people and sending the right signals in social interaction but lacks cognitive empathy, and on the other hand you have a population with poor affective empathy and who struggle to read others' emotions but are capable of feeling very strongly for them when they can tell what's going on.

Wow, that's some interesting research.

Do you have any links?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-27 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, hence the 'vaguely remember'. I'm sorry I can't offer more than that, it was a while ago and I didn't bother bookmarking anything because it didn't offer free access.

huh, that's actually quite interesting. It's too bad you don't have the links.

Just adding to this, I don't have the links either, but I remember reading about this too. It is also in line with my own experiences being on the autism spectrum. I have a great deal of empathy. I just don't always know the correct way to show it, and it is something I sometimes have to think about. (I have sorta in my head a "rulebook" of sorts for social interactions, that I add to over time, in my head, so I'm a lot better at it than I used to be, but when I was younger.. yeah it was a definite issue.)
