The Problem with the Double Empathy Problem

Christianity on the Spectrum is a podcast about the intersection of ASD 1 and Christianity. It is the culmination of around 10 years of autism research.
In this episode I talk about the Double Empathy Problem, a popular construct used in the social model of disability. I talk about how it works, how it doesn't, the support for it and against it, and how and why it should be used or not.
