 In the previous video I highlighted the lack of empathy that neurotypical and autistic individuals tend to have for each other. Although this may be down to lack of awareness, there is also a very very clear reason why this happens. We simply have very different ways of feeling, thinking, perceiving and communicating. Autistic people don't tend to use or pick up on indirect communication, which is often a primary method of emotional communication for neurotypical individuals. You can see where that gets a little messy, and likewise, our autistic emotional explanations may not be taken that seriously by neurotypicals, they may feel like it's very disingenuous. This leads to the common issue of crossed wires and NT-ND relationships. Awareness work and education in pretty much all areas of life can be massive for this. I can share if you found it helpful and follow me for daily autism content.
