As an autist in a sales job: One does not need to experience emotions to anticipate the needs of others.

I'm also autistic. There's a lot more of the thing they call emotion going into a process like that than we anticipate. But since we're raised and socialized in a world that wants to comprehend emotions about as well as it wants to comprehend us, we tend to be told things like we don't actually have feelings.

But I digress, there is a wide gulf between any given points of the autism spectrum.
