You're right, though I hadn't thought of it in that way, but what do we as lawyers do but give advice? Same with counselors, coaches and consultants. I really enjoyed your post on autism and social awkwardness. That's a valuable insight. Thanks for reading and commenting, Penelope!

Great post. Your signs of a self-important blogger are actually good guidelines for how to give good advice. Made me want to go over all my posts to see if I have been adhereing to these guidelines :) Also, I wanted to say something about learning empathy. We have learned a lot about empathy in the past decade that we have been treating Asperger's Syndrome. At it's core, it is a disorder about empathy. And we have found that empathy is very very hard to teach. Most of it is intuitive.
