Description
"Autistics do not lack empathy"They may not express some forms of empathy, but they do not lack it.
The reason why the stamp is red is because red for acceptance.
Made by me using the Stamp Maker V. 2.

Oh my! How much I can relate to this damn stamp!
I'm extremely empathetic and it doesn't help that I easily take on other people's feelings in a blink of an eye, making me have the occasional apathetic reaction to something. Or make me lose my sanity by the smallest of mistake/change that I can't understand.

Sadly, you are talking about an enormous group of people.
There are people with Autism that lack empathy and those who don't
Lacking empathy is simply a symptom of Autism.
I hope you are not forgetting there are like 5 different types of Autism.

Autism is a spectrum disoder, but people don't lack empathy from autism. They might have another disorder that causes them to lack empathy. Often times autistics get confused with lacking empathy because not being able to show it is caused by autism.

Well, that could be partly true.
People with autism do not lack empathy but have trouble understanding empathy, that I understood from your stamp.
But that does not mean is a person with autism actually lacks empathy that they will always have another disorder.
I recommend changing the description because if I were a person with 0% understanding of autism and I saw this stamp, I would assume something different than what you are actually trying to tell.

It is more that autistics have troble with social intraction. It is often hard for them to "mind read". As autistics have mild to severe dificulties picking up cues and using them as well.

Social interaction and empathy fit in the same category but are yet two different topics. Especially since Social Interaction is an umbrella term.

Well in order to envoke empathetic reaction someone get social cues. That is where social interaction and empathy meet. That is what autistics lack at from mild to sever. Thus it changes the way autistics show empathy.

Also, some have too much and some can turn it off for a little while to cope. (Not disagreeing with you.)
Empathy can get too much for anyone to handle, sometimes.
