I want to correct you about not getting empathy, not getting jokes with asperger's syndrome (at 8:21) It is just the fact that the humour is different to 'normal' people and people with asperger's do have empathy if they are calm, it is when they are stressed all symptoms are at their worst and everything shuts down in terms of empathy and it can be very frustrating. Also autistics can learn how to find normal jokes funny and learn empathy by creating emotions themselves consciously
