'After his mother’s death, Kaliszan made a request to Direct Funding to increase his support. The request will take 18-24 months to be reviewed.' In what world does someone wait 2 YEARS to get more attendant care? #Ontario #Onpoli thenation.com/article/societ…

Put forward by Dr Damian Milton, this explains that both parties need to be empathetic towards the other. Autistic people are often accused of lacking empathy, but there's rarely mention of neurotypical people being expected to put themselves in the shoes of an autistic person.
ALT Title “The Double Empathy Theory.” A chart below shows faces representing autistic and neurotypical people interacting. Happy faces when interacting with another ND or NT person but confused faces when an ND and NT person are interacting. Text below reads - Responsibility is not solely on autistic individuals to learn about neurotypical social norms but for ALL individuals to seek to learn and understand each other.
