Tell me about it. As an autist, I struggle with figuring out how people are feeling and what that feeling is called and what's the right thing to do about it. On the other hand, as an autist, I'm often the first to step up when someone is in need -- while all the neurotypicals are sitting around waiting for someone else to do something.

My empathy score: 4. Never mind the many people and animals I've stepped up for, while everyone else is just standing there watching like it's some TV show.
