Does it appear that your son lacks empathy? - ADHD Dude - Ryan Wexelblatt

Answering viewers' questions from ADDitude Magazine's ADHD in Boys section. This parent stated that it appears her son lacks empathy for other people and I explain why that is not accurate.
Rather, what her son struggles with is perspective taking skills (understanding others' thoughts/feelings and understanding how he comes across to others).
