I know that i respond positively to signs of pain in others much more than i respond to signs of excitement or joy. So just because i tend to avoid others does not mean i will necessarily ignore them in times of trouble. Empathy seems to be one of my gifts. There have been times when i was first to respond to apparent trouble or sorrow. But i don't swim so water rescue would probably not be one of them, but in the past not knowing what to do has not stopped me from trying to do something. I can't say whether this is characteristic of autists or just me.
