I examine why it can often be challenging to relate with someone who has autism in this episode. I also discuss how we use "tough love" to show empathy. This episode goes so far as to explain why it is tough for us and why it is frightening to accomplish. In order to make up for my lack of empathy, I'll also describe how I show true compassion. Even further, I use an example of how a relationship might succeed in the presence of compassion but not empathy.
