Despite a paucity of research, individuals on the autism spectrum are generally believed to lack empathy. In the current study we used a new, photo-based measure, the Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET), to assess empathy multidimensionally in a group of 17 individuals with Asperger syndrome (AS) and 18 well-matched controls. Results suggested that while individuals with AS are impaired in cognitive empathy, they do not differ from controls in emotional empathy. Level of general emotional arousability and socially desirable answer tendencies did not differ between groups. Internal consistency of the MET’s scales ranged from .71 to .92, and convergent and divergent validity were highly satisfactory.

Who Cares? Revisiting Empathy in Asperger Syndrome / Kimberley ROGERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-4 (April 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-4 (April 2007) . - p.709-715 Titre : Who Cares? Revisiting Empathy in Asperger Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kimberley ROGERS, Auteur ; Isabel DZIOBEK, Auteur ; Jason HASSENSTAB, Auteur ; Oliver T. WOLF, Auteur ; Antonio CONVIT, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.709-715 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Empathy Asperger-syndrome Autism Theory-of-mind Social-cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A deficit in empathy has consistently been cited as a central characteristic of Asperger syndrome (AS), but previous research on adults has predominantly focused on cognitive empathy, effectively ignoring the role of affective empathy. We administered the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), a multi-dimensional measure of empathy, and the Strange Stories test to 21 adults with AS and 21 matched controls. Our data show that while the AS group scored lower on the measures of cognitive empathy and theory of mind, they were no different from controls on one affective empathy scale of the IRI (empathic concern), and scored higher than controls on the other (personal distress). Therefore, we propose that the issue of empathy in AS should be revisited.
