Chapter 4: Autism and the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ IN Conversations on Empathy: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Empathy, Imagination and Othering
Damian Milton, Krysia Waldock, Nathan Keates (2023)
This book explores the role of empathy in helping us understand and relate to others, especially those who seem very different from us. In a world facing crises like war, inequality, and environmental collapse, it argues that empathy is more important than ever for building connection, care, and justice. The authors examine how empathy can both bridge and highlight differences in our everyday relationships and global challenges.
