No I'm not, I believe I have good theory of mind and I'm pretty empathetic, but I have wondered if those with asperger's may feel like I do in this aspect, and whether, as I said, that a certain part of my mind is missing, failed to develop, or something. Perhaps some people just aren't materialistic, and that's all.

Edit: just realised, the responses here are largely about 'we' or claims about how 'other people' feel. There seems a remarkable lack of people talking about how they themselves feel when they have status symbols. Perhaps we're not that rare as a group.
