The double empathy problem theory dives into why it can be tough for autistic folks to vibe with non-autistic folks in social settings.

Non-autistic individuals find it challenging to understand or empathize with autistic experiences.

The double empathy problem flips the script—it's not just about autistic people struggling to get non-autistic perspectives, but non-autistic folks finding it tricky to tune into the autistic experience too.

Autism isn't a flaw, it's just a different way our brains work—kinda like being non-autistic isn't a problem either.
