Empathy and low EQ score

TearsInRain

Has anyone else been upset after being diagnosed as an adult to find that they have a really low empathy test EQ score? I felt ashamed at first, then upset and was even angry at times. Did it affect you in the same way? I'd really like to know thank you.

Parents

  • I wasn't formally diagnosed, but after my self realisation I heard about empathy being low in autistic people, and did the EQ test online.

    I had a moment of surprise, a moment of disappointment and a moment of curiosity as to why the test score was so low when I was sure I was empathic.

    Since then I've learned that empathy is not non existent in us, it's just different

    And if course now all those moments have been lost in time, like tears in rain.
