Books
Empathy, we're told, is what makes us human: our innate ability to connect. But the classic stereotype of autistic people is that they can't empathise. However intellectually brilliant they might be, their brains are not 'wired' for connection. As an autistic psychotherapist, who empathises for a living, Aimee Cliff knew that this wasn't true. Empathy isn't an individual personality trait, a marker of virtue or vice; it is an act between two people, one that we choose to practise every day. This book playfully offers a new idea of empathy, one with a more exciting and expansive definition. For real empathy fights against the constrictive straitjackets of stereotypes, and dares to imagine something new. It's liberatory, radical and accessible to everyone.
