My friend, Blake Baxter, shares the beginning of his diagnosis story (more in the next episode) and we are collaborating on a podcast series regarding the ambiguous concept of empathy.  This is part 1 of our series together as we venture together to figure out what is the definition of empathy and why it is assumed to be missing in those with autism when we have seriously different experiences.
