I am sure that it is possible to have some kind of rare form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder or even undiagnosed Atypical Autism And we may just be talking about two things here. I see social skills as a cultural behavior--jus... |

| I am sorry, I did not mean to suggest you are not empathetic nor possess those skills or abilities. I was really talking in general terms. Autism or PDD-NOS is not a complete lack on empathy, but a deficit that causes problems in "normal" communication. I also have all kinds of empathy--i... |
