What is it about?
A research about empathy and autism relates to the clinical nature and understandings of empathy in autism. The author acknowledges they may miss relevant scholarship, but simultaneously argues the review can inform therapies. Therefore, there is issue within the scholarship on the topic that contradicts itself, and needing a wider debate on the topic.

Why is it important?
A greater understanding is required about empathy and autism to avoid the misnomers about autistic people.
Perspectives
I hope this article makes what people might think is a concluded topic is not. It is an issue that can be entrenched in perspectives and needs to be further understood. More than anything else, and if nothing else, I hope you find this article thought-provoking.
