It challenges the traditional view that in exchanges between autistic and non-autistic people, this breakdown was simply the result of autistic people being inherently deficient in empathy. Thirteen years after the theory was first published, \u003ci\u003eThe Double Empathy Reader\u003c\/i\u003e brings together an important volume of work to explore the research that has developed in that time as well as the many gaps in our understanding that still exist, with the aim to understand the potential of this theory to aid a reframing of autism itself and the radical change this could bring when considering best practice models for supporting autistic people in different settings. This title is the first in a new 'Readers in Neurodiversity' series, which follows Milton \u003ci\u003eet al\u003c\/i\u003e's \u003ci\u003eThe Neurodiversity Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 2020. In keeping with this earlier collection, this new volume also explores how the concept of the 'double empathy problem' may be of use in wider theory and practice regarding neurodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55760599581046,"sku":"9781803882956","price":95.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35592604_3e1c58c7-3de4-49d5-84fb-ab9f432a2454.jpg?v=1754516645","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803882956-double-empathy-reader","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
