\> I am very sensitive, and very empathetic. An empath you could even say. What I struggle a little with is with cognitive empathy

I'm similar, but inverted. Acutely aware cognitively. Absorb everything. I have entire databases in my head dedicated to friends of friends I've never and will never know.

I'm pretty solid on compassionate empathy, but again lean heavily on the cognitive skills. How much I care is still directly related to how much I know.

Not much for me in the affective empathy realm, outside a few very specific scenarios.

Currently reading Empathy: Why It Matters, and How to Get It. I'm definitely NOT the book's intended audience.

This is just practicing empathy. This book is worth reading. https://www.amazon.com/Empathy-Why-Matters-How-Get/dp/0399171401

Who diagnosed you with Asperger's? Psychologists and mental health professionals should all be up to date on the DSM-V, which no longer recognizes Asperger Syndrome but instead Autism Spectrum Disorder.

People with ASD generally do not empathize during communication the way many neurotypical people do. I recommend reading this book, which may give you some insight on how empathy works. I assume you have a therapist or other practitioner who's managing your medication -- they should have some good reading suggestions and advice. Ask them!
