In this video, I want to talk about the double empathy problem and how it affects the relationship between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. The double empathy problem refers to mutual misunderstandings between these two groups, and it's not solely due to the neurodivergent person's characteristics, but also stems from a lack of understanding or empathy from the neurotypical side. Historically, we've treated neurodivergent people as if they need to be fixed, but the double empathy problem proposes inclusivity, mutual understanding, and accommodation of differences as key to reducing stigma and fostering empathy in society. It's crucial not only to adjust behaviors of individuals with autism or ADHD but also to educate society on neurodivergent experiences. By embracing the double empathy theory, we can counteract the idea of being broken or needing fixing."}
