Double empathy problem explained

The theory of the double empathy problem is a psychological and sociological theory first coined in 2012 by Damian Milton, an autistic autism researcher.[1] This theory proposes that many of the difficulties autistic individuals face when socializing with non-autistic individuals are due, in part, to a lack of mutual understanding between the two groups, meaning that most autistic people struggle to understand and empathize with non-autistic people, whereas most non-autistic people also struggle to understand and empathize with autistic people. This lack of understanding may stem from bidirectional differences in communication style, social-cognitive characteristics, and experiences between autistic and non-autistic individuals, but not necessarily an inherent deficiency. Recent studies have shown that most autistic individuals are able to socialize, communicate effectively,[2] empathize well,[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] and display social reciprocity[8] with most other autistic individuals.[9] This theory and subsequent findings challenge the commonly held belief that the social skills of autistic individuals are inherently impaired, as well as the theory of "mind-blindness" proposed by prominent autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen in the mid-1980s, which suggested that empathy and theory of mind are universally impaired in autistic individuals.[10] [11]

The double empathy concept has been consistently supported by a substantial number of studies in recent years and has the potential to radically shift goals of interventions and public psychoeducation regarding autism.[12] [13] [14] In recognition of recent findings that support the theory, Baron-Cohen positively recognized the theory of the double empathy problem in two research articles in 2018[15] and 2022,[16] as well as in multiple podcasts since 2020.[17] [18]

History

Development and spread of mind-blindness theory

See main article: Mind-blindness. Earlier studies on autism regarding theory of mind and empathy had concluded that a lack of theory of mind was one of the primary symptoms of autism. The most popular of these studies were those led by Simon Baron-Cohen in the 1980s and 1990s, who used the term "mind-blindness" to describe his theory in an attempt to empirically explain the tendency of autistic people to avoid eye contact,[19] [20] [21] proposing a homogeneous explanation of autism as due to either a lack of theory of mind or developmental delay in theory of mind in early childhood.[22] Some have additionally described the supposed social impairment present in autistic people as "an extreme form of egocentrism with the resulting lack of consideration for others".[23]

Mind-blindness implies an inability to make sense of and predict another person's behavior, and to attribute mental states such as knowledge, beliefs, desires, emotions, and intentions to oneself and others.[24] The claim that autistic people lack theory of mind is taught across a wide range of psychology textbooks[25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] and promoted by over 75% of the top 500 scholarly articles indexed for "theory of mind" and "autism" on Google Scholar,[32] serving as one of psychology's widely promoted topics throughout psychological literature, practice, and instruction.[33] [34] [35] Mind-blindness has also been embraced by scholars in other disciplinary areas such as sociology,[36] philosophy,[37] economics,[38] anthropology,[39] robotics,[40] and narratology.[41]

Problems with earlier studies on theory of mind and empathy in autism

The mind-blindness hypothesis, in addition to being questioned shortly after its publication, has faced a great deal of criticism from the scientific community over the years,[42] in response to the replication studies (mostly with false-belief tasks) that have failed to reveal significant differences in theory of mind between autistic and non-autistic participants,[43] [44] [45] as well as the growing body of evidence for the high degree of heterogeneity in autistic brains at a neurobiological level.[46] [47] [48]

There have been developments of new theory-of-mind measures when existing measures were perceived by some researchers as inadequate. There have been some successful replications demonstrating differences in theory of mind and empathy with some measures such as the Frith–Happé Animations Test,[49] Baron-Cohen's "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" task,[50] [51] and self-report empathy questionnaires which have been criticized for being vague and imprecise as well as not considering social interaction contexts, reference groups, and the substantially lowered social-desirability bias of autistic individuals.[52] In addition, several independent teams have repetitively failed to replicate highly cited and widely taught findings with picture-sequencing tasks and false-belief tasks such as the Sally–Anne test. Such mixed and inconsistent findings with many different measures have raised doubts regarding the generalizability and validity of the mind-blindness theory of autism.[53]

Furthermore, autism intervention research based on theory of mind has shown little efficacy,[54] [55] and theory-of-mind experiments typically fail to take into account the fact that autistic people have different sensory experiences, which vary between autistic individuals, than non-autistic people.[56] Academics have also noted that many autistic children and adults pass some theory-of-mind tasks but performances vary substantially between diverse tasks and between autistic individuals; hence, Baron-Cohen's earlier repeated assertion of mind-blindness being a universal characteristic of autism across contexts[57] [58] has also been called into question by other researchers since the 1990s.[59] [60] [61] [62] [63] In recent years, Baron-Cohen has revised his understanding and his recent well-powered studies have found substantial heterogeneity in empathy and theory of mind among autistic people, with lower performances or scores in theory-of-mind and empathy tasks among autistic people on average, but also a substantial proportion (around 40–60%) of autistic people showing "unimpaired" or even above-average performances in some rather controversial theory-of-mind and empathy measures.[64] [65] [66] Similar results have been consistently demonstrated by other research teams.[67] [68]

Additionally, it has been argued that many professionals and, likewise, parents seem to have neglected that reciprocity needs to be mutual and symmetrical. For example, John Constantino's Social Responsiveness Scale,[69] a 2002 quantitative measure of social reciprocity in children which has since been used extensively in autism research,[70] [71] [72] [73] [74] consisted of the item that asks whether the child "is regarded by other children as odd or weird", which, although seems to indicate a lack of social or emotional reciprocity in the regarder, is used instead to indicate a lack of social or emotional reciprocity in the target child. Several other items in the questionnaire, such as the one that asks whether the child "is not well coordinated in physical activities", seem completely unrelated to reciprocity.

Counter-theory to mind-blindness

Around the early 2010s, academics began to suggest that some studies of theory-of-mind and empathy tests may have misinterpreted autistic people having difficulty understanding non-autistic or neurotypical people as being an intrinsic social deficit present in autistic individuals. They argued that it seemed more likely that autistic people were specifically having trouble understanding neurotypical people in some contexts, due to differences in experiences and social-cognition between the two groups.[75] [76] The theory of the double empathy problem was coined in 2012 by Damian Milton as a counter-theory to mind-blindness in an effort to explain this phenomenon of mutual misunderstanding, defined as follows:

The "double empathy problem": a disjuncture in reciprocity between two differently disposed social actors which becomes more marked the wider the disjuncture in dispositional perceptions of the lifeworld – perceived as a breach in the "natural attitude" of what constitutes "social reality" for "non-autistic spectrum" people and yet an everyday and often traumatic experience for "autistic people".
The claim that autism is characterized by a lack of social or emotional reciprocity has become a truism in academia; for instance, in a 2004 research article examining a hypothesized autism susceptibility gene, the opening line simply stated, without any scientific citations or supporting data, that "impaired reciprocal social interaction is one of the core features of autism".[77] The double empathy theory, subsequent findings, and findings in the broader theory of mind and empathy literature in the past two to three decades contest common assumptions about autistic people in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, which are often riddled with information regarding autism and theory of mind (e.g., autistic people are universally deficient in empathy or theory of mind) that is outdated, overgeneralized, empirically questionable with inconsistent findings, and potentially societally harmful, but still often assumed by some researchers, educators, students, and practitioners as factual.[78]

While the concept of double empathy had existed in prior publications,[79] Milton named and significantly expanded on it.[80] Since 2015, there has been an increasing number of research studies, including experimental studies, qualitative research, and real-life social interaction studies, many of which emerging under the banner of critical autism studies, supporting the double empathy theory and the findings appear consistent.[81] [82] [83] [84] [85] [86] [87] [88] [89]

In the past few years, the double empathy theory has been supported by many autism researchers, including Catherine Crompton, Morton Ann Gernsbacher, Baron-Cohen himself, and the editor-in-chief of the academic journal Autism, Sue Fletcher-Watson. The theory has also been approached by research projects in various disciplinary areas, including but not limited to psychology, sociology,[90] philosophy,[91] neuroscience,[92] linguistics, film studies,[93] and design.[94]

Double empathy and bidirectional communication studies

Interpersonal rapport, empathy, and communication effectiveness

It has been suggested that non-autistic people tend to have a poor understanding of autistic people and lack emotional empathy for autistic people, just as autistic people may have a poor understanding of non-autistic people.[95] Whilst autistic people sometimes have difficulties in understanding non-autistic people and struggle to socialize with non-autistic people, it is likely that most non-autistic people often hold negative stereotypes, views, and/or biases regarding autistic differences, and also struggle to understand autistic people's communication, emotions, and intentions, resulting in and contributing to this "double empathy problem".

Studies from the 2010s and 2020s that have used autistic-autistic pairs to test interpersonal rapport, empathy, and communication effectiveness in adults have shown that autistic adults generally perform better in empathy, rapport, and communication effectiveness when paired with other autistic adults, that higher interpersonal rapport may be present in autistic-autistic interactions than in those between autistic and neurotypical people, and that autistic people may be able to understand and predict each other's thoughts and motivations better than neurotypical people[96] as well as possibly autistic close relatives.[97]

The importance of social reciprocity

One major factor influencing communication effectiveness is social reciprocity. Past research from the 1980s and 1990s has indicated that when professionals, peers, and parents are taught to act reciprocally to autistic children, non-autistic children are considerably more likely to reciprocate with autistic children, who end up becoming more responsive.[98] [99] Non-autistic children can demonstrate reciprocity via imitation, which improves social responsiveness in all children, including autistic children; when a random person imitates an autistic child engaging in object manipulation by manipulating a duplicate object in the same way that the child does, the child makes longer and more frequent eye contact with the person.[100] [101] Similarly, when mothers imitate their autistic children's manipulation of toys, the children not only gaze longer and more frequently at their mothers, but also engage in more exploratory and creative behavior with the toys, on top of showing considerably more positive affect.[102]

In contrast, in a 1992 study on reciprocal interactions, non-autistic preschoolers, called "peer tutors", were taught to prompt for the verbal labels of preferred toys from autistic target children; the peer tutors were told to "wait for the target child to initiate a request for a toy", "ask the target child for the label of the toy", "give the toy to the target child when he labeled it", and "praise the correct answer".[103] None of the autistic children maintained their initiation with the peer tutors even after the training sessions were completed, which was likely because their interaction was neither mutual nor symmetrical. When social interaction is neither mutual nor symmetrical between autistic and non-autistic peers, a double empathy problem occurs, which is likely exacerbated through professionals, peers, and parents neglecting the reciprocal nature of reciprocity.

Bullying and subsequent masking

See also: Autistic masking.

Some researchers have argued that autistic people likely understand non-autistic people to a higher degree than vice versa, due to the frequency of masking – i.e., the conscious or subconscious suppression of autistic behaviors and the compensation of difficulties in social interaction by autistic people with the goal of being perceived as neurotypical.[104] [105] Masking begins at a young age as a coping strategy, partly to avoid harassment and bullying,[106] [107] [108] which are highly common experiences for autistic children and adults.[109] [110] [111] [112] High rates of peer victimization are also seen in autistic children and adults.[113] [114]

Whilst many health professionals and researchers have argued from time to time that autism is characterized by a lack of social or emotional reciprocity, the bullying and victimization targeted at autistic people by non-autistic people, along with the problem of ableism in autism research,[115] [116] [117] has been viewed as a demonstration of non-autistic people's lack of social or emotional reciprocity towards autistic people, further suggesting what Milton has described to be a "disjuncture in reciprocity" (i.e., the presence of a "double empathy gap") between autistic and non-autistic people.

Anthropomorphism and understanding for animals

See also: Anthropomorphism and Personification. An area of social-cognitive strength in autistic people centers upon anthropomorphism.[118] A 2018 study has shown that autistic people are likely more prone to object personification,[119] suggesting that autistic empathy may be more complex and all-encompassing, contrary to the popular belief that autistic people lack empathy. Whilst neurotypical participants have outperformed autistic participants in the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test designed by Baron-Cohen in 2001, autistic participants have outperformed neurotypical participants in a cartoon version of said test in a 2022 study,[120] supporting the view of social-cognitive differences rather than deficits in the autistic population.

Some autistic people also appear to possess a heightened understanding, empathy, and sensitivity towards animals,[121] [122] [123] once again suggesting social-cognitive differences in autistic people, but not global deficits.

Autistic perspectives and dehumanizing research

Autistic theory of mind, argued to have facilitated the release of cognitive resources, is typically based on the use of rules and logic and may be modulated by differences in thinking.[124] [125] If autistic people were inherently poor at theory of mind and social communication, an interaction between a pair of autistic people would logically be more challenging than one between an autistic and neurotypical person. As a result, Milton has described the belief that autistic people lack theory of mind as a myth analogous to the now-discredited theory that vaccines cause autism.[126]

Many autistic activists have shown support for the double empathy concept, and have argued that past studies done on theory of mind in autism have served to stigmatize autistic people,[127] place the responsibility for autistic-neurotypical misunderstandings solely on autistic people,[128] and dehumanize autistic people by portraying them as unempathetic. Many autistic activists have advocated for the inclusion of autistic people in autism research, promoting the slogan "nothing about us without us".[129] [130] In addition, autistic individuals may tend to have a reliable and scientific understanding of autism that is also less stigmatizing,[131] contrary to the implication that autistic people lack the ability to infer to their selves.

Research has shown that autistic people are more likely to be dehumanized by non-autistic people,[132] and first-hand accounts of autism research, including autoethnographies, blogs,[133] [134] commentaries,[135] and editorials,[136] have described autism research to often be dehumanizing to autistic people. Furthermore, autistic people are said to be "less domesticated" at morphological, physiological, and behavioral levels, and have integrity equivalent to that of non-human animals.[108] Autism has been described as an epidemic,[137] and in some cases, lack of empathy is used to link autism with terrorism.[52] Autistic people are also said to be an economic burden, and extensive arguments supporting the use of eugenics in autism have been published, with exceptions being made only for those who are economically productive and normative enough to not make others uncomfortable.[108]

As a result of this dehumanization, the lack of understanding and resultant stigma and marginalization felt by autistic people in social settings may negatively impact upon their mental health, employment, accessibility to education and services, and experiences with the criminal justice system.[138] [139] [140] [141] Autistic people have increased premature mortality rates and one of the leading causes of death in autistic people is suicide,[142] which is likely exacerbated by this stigma and marginalization. Additionally, many autistic people often feel trapped by the stereotypes this largely non-autistic society has of autism,[143] and have reported changing their behavior (i.e., masking) as a result of those stereotypes. Because a lack of theory of mind is believed to impair autistic people's understanding of their selves and other people, the claim that autistic people lack theory of mind is seen to dispute their autonomy, devalue their self-determination, and undermine their credibility.[144]

Limitations and future directions

The literature on double empathy is still relatively young, and the generalizability of double empathy findings to younger autistic children as well as autistic people with an intellectual disability, speech-language impairment, and/or higher support needs is unknown, may be confounding, and will require further research.[145]

Milton agrees that there currently remain large gaps in this area of research. The vast majority of studies on double empathy, bidirectional communication, and socialization so far have not included autistic children and autistic people who are nonverbal or have an intellectual disability. There exists a high degree of comorbidity between autism and intellectual disability; roughly 30% of autistic people have an intellectual disability,[146] [147] [148] [149] while just roughly 1–3% of the global population or lower has an intellectual disability.[150] [151] In addition, roughly 20–30% of autistic children are either nonverbal or minimally verbal.[152] A 2023 study by Glass & Yuill suggested the presence of similar or higher social synchrony between autistic pairs compared to non-autistic pairs under certain conditions, with participants including autistic children and autistic people who are nonverbal or minimally verbal.

Moreover, double empathy and bidirectional communication studies typically fail to take into account the vast differences in autism and factors like masking, which may possibly interfere with autistic people's ability to communicate and empathize with one another. Acknowledging these differences which may affect communication within and between autistic and non-autistic groups, a 2024 study by Gillespie-Smith et al.[153] suggested a need to (re)frame the double empathy problem to be understood as a Spectrum of Understanding, which sees double empathy in the context of a continuum of neurocommunicative learning, situated between poles of understanding and misunderstanding. In this sense, the Spectrum of Understanding simply illustrates that as individuals learn more about each other from direct interaction, their relationships tend to deepen, their comprehension of each other increases, and they become more able to empathize with each other.

It is important to note that conceptual replications and further studies on double empathy are needed in different groups, including siblings of autistic people, non-autistic pupils in schools including autistic peers, late-diagnosed autistic adults, parents of autistic children, and autism service providers.[154]

Emphasizing that empathy and reciprocity are a "two-way street", Milton and many other researchers propose that further autism research should focus on bridging the double empathy gap by empowering autistic individuals, building rapport and appreciation for their worldview, educating non-autistic people about what being autistic means, and moving towards a more continuous understanding of neurodiversity.[155] [156] [157] It has also been suggested that the medical model of autism – the traditional and dominant model of autism in which autism is viewed as a disorder and deficit[158] – should be moved away from due to its approach being too narrow, individualistic, and deficit-based,[159] as well as how its messaging could contribute to ableism, prejudice, and stigma towards autistic people,[160] [161] further widening this double empathy gap.
