Show Notes
In this episode I give a refresher on emotional empathy vs cognitive empathy and explain how sensory overload and mental shutdowns can play a role in autistics being perceived as not having empathy. This is largely due to the medical community refusing to learn from listening to the internal experiences of autistic people.
