“Today’s episode criticises a recent University of Montreal study on brain synchrony in autistic and neurotypical social interactions. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks argues that the study's methodology and conclusions perpetuate harmful stereotypes about autism, viewing autistic people as “deviations” from the “typical” or “normal” “neurotypical experience.” Dr. Hoerricks contends that this approach perpetuates a history of pathologising autism and promotes a dangerous “prevention” mindset, ultimately calling for a paradigm shift in autism research to center neurodiversity and amplify autistic voices.”
