recently it was discussed that autistic people also struggle with empathy.

Autistic people do not struggle with empathy.

They struggle with being perceived as expressing empathy, and they struggle with others not being empathetic toward them, instead just feigning it or using it as a manipulation tactic, which autists are much more likely to recognize as such.

People tend to sympathize, not empathize, with autists.

These are not the same thing.
