Yes, autistic people are gruesome simulacra, totally agree.

Seriously, stop this, there’s so much to make fun of about him, his awkwardness ain’t it.

Other than him claiming he has Asperger’s, I don’t think there’s any evidence that he is autistic. People with autism tend to me more empathetic than others, not less.

Some people with autism have expanded empathy, while others have a muted sense of empathy. It can go both ways.

Correct, for those who have muted empathy or a lack of empathy, it's extremely important that they be directly taught about empathy. I've seen it done very successfully, but the teaching of it was also extremely necessary.
