Are there misconceptions about autism?
There are definitely these misconceptions that because I'm autistic I'm going to be excellent at math. I hate math! I love English. And as soon as I tell someone I'm autistic they try to get me to give them the square root of pi.
What do you think about the misconception that people on the spectrum don't have empathy?
I've never met someone on the spectrum who was unable to empathise with a person.
