Autistic sociologist Damian Milton (2012, 2018) introduced the double empathy problem—the idea that misunderstandings between Autistic and neurotypical people aren’t due to Autistic people “lacking empathy,” but to a mutual gap in understanding. The real issue? Neurotypical norms are dominant—so Autistic people are expected to adapt, mask, and empathize upwards just to survive. This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a social power imbalance. Milton’s work shows we don’t lack empathy—we’re just not

The double empathy problem explained: an idea that autistic ppl and non autistic ppl communicate differently from one another. The differences in communication cause us to misunderstand one another on a regular basis. Neither way of communicating is bad they are simply just different. But because we live in a neurotypical society where autism is not the norm, autistic ppl are seen as the problem in these miscommunications.

Double empathy problem Autism and Double Empathy
It’s called the Double Empathy Problem… And it gets blamed on “autistic communication deficits”, but it’s actually just the result of trying to translate across languages and cultures. Why do autistic people get blamed? The answer is simple: because of privilege. Allistic communication styles are privileged and normalized. That’s all. They’re not better—they’re just the communication conventions of the dominant group. #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #autisticwomen #autisticadults #autism | Lá

The Double Empathy Problem (Milton, 2012) is a sociological theory of autistic communication that suggests the miscommunication between autistics and non-autistics is not the fault of the autistic person but, rather, a bi-directional mismatch in communication styles. Autistics talk amongst ourselves just fine—non-autistics have just never been pressured to learn how to talk to us effectively 🙂 #actuallyautistic #autism #asd #doubleempathyproblem
