“…The negative rating of autistic people provides support for the 'double empathy problem' (Milton, 2012) which argues that non-autistic individuals lack empathy into the lives of autistic people, and a breakdown of reciprocity in social interactions between autistic and non-autistic individuals is observed (Milton & Bracher, 2013). The current findings support the idea that difficulties in social interactions between autistic people and non-autistic people are not purely a result of the autistic person's social difficulties, but also a product of the rapid unfavourable judgements made by non-autistic individuals (Milton, Heasman & Sheppard, 2018).…”

“…In this case, the focus is on how social contexts react to autistic people. This approach reflects the 'double empathy problem', which acknowledges the challenges individuals with autism face in processing and understanding other people, but also highlights that non-autistic individuals need to work harder to understand autistic individuals (Milton 2018). This framework suggests that there is a mutual and reciprocal misunderstanding of both parties, due to experiencing the world in very different ways.…”

“…This framework suggests that there is a mutual and reciprocal misunderstanding of both parties, due to experiencing the world in very different ways. Specifically, Milton (2018) proposes that targets for intervention and further research should focus on empowering individuals with autism, to fostering an understanding and appreciation of their world view, and to bridge the 'double-empathy gap' by developing shared interactional expertise.…”

“…How potential social partners perceive those behaviors, and whether and how they choose to respond to them will determine whether social interaction proceeds. In several studies, nonautistic people misperceived the social signals of autistic people (for a review, see Milton, Heasman, & Sheppard, 2018). Thus, researchers need to not only look beyond typical indicators of sociality, but also recognize that their appraisals of others' sociality (including prejudices and inaccurate assumptions; Li & Koenig, 2019) can have cascading negative effects (Akhtar, Jaswal, Dinishak, & Stephan, 2016) and even become self-fulfilling prophecies (Jaswal & Akhtar, 2019a).…”
