Have you ever heard that people on the autism spectrum aren't great at perspective-taking? It turns out that it's actually a problem on two sides of the spectrum.

Autistic people often have to work harder to take the perspective of neurotypical people. And many have spent countless hours in therapy doing this work.

But new research shows that neurotypical people have just as much trouble taking the perspective of our autistic peers.

It's time for us to get to work too. Join me as I talk to neurodivergent adults and explore new research to help me and other OTs and SLPs better understand and connect with our autistic clients.
