Autism and Empathy
Category: Autism Experiences

This site exists to undo the myths about autism and empathy that have stigmatized autistic people for so long. It features writing by autistic individuals, by autism parents and family members, by autism professionals, and by others who understand that autistic people, all along the spectrum, can experience the world in highly empathetic and sensitive ways. Telling our stories, describing our experiences, and speaking the truth in our own voices, we can break dehumanizing stereotypes and increase understanding.

Karla McLaren says "This blog is a wonderful act of empathy, social awareness, mind-sightedness, and healthy activism. Rachel has given autistics and the people who know them a place to talk openly about the fully empathic selves that have been obscured behind pathologizing language and decades of ableism. Well, they're not obscured any longer! Awesome site."
