empathy & sympathy

on 24.3.14
this is a topic i've thought about a lot. when people find out i have aspergers, or even just hear the word. the assume i don't feel empathy or sympathy. this may be the case for some people, but honestly, i just don't know how to express empathy and sympathy in words and actions.

for example:
when my great nanna passed and my parents told me. i kinda said a really fake "aww". i was devastated, and i wasn't in shock because we'd all been preparing for it for around a year (she had ovarian cancer). i didn't really cry either, i have no idea why.
