Excerpts from a helpful article in this morning's Wall Street Journal under the front page heading "Early Signals of Mental Illness":

"Changes in social behavior, such as difficulty detecting insincere comments or feeling empathy, can be a window into your neurological health, scientists say...Deterioration in social functioning can begin even while executive functions like planning and organizing remain intact during the early stages of mental disorders...It turned out the man had frontotemperal dementia, damage to the frontal lobe of the brain...People with autism and schizophrenia tend to have difficulty with empathy...

Your condition may be of interest to science.
