10 Symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome

3. Lack of Empathy

Those with Asperger’s may find it difficult or impossible to understand what other people are feeling. This can be a difficult hurdle to get over, and is often very difficult for others to understand also. In children this can cause them to behave in ways that are considered inappropriate by others, and they might play with others too roughly or say things that are hurtful without the intention of hurting anyone’s feelings. Their actions are the result of a genuine lack of ability to imagine what others feel like under various circumstances.
