“Today’s episode explores the double empathy problem through the lens of an autistic gestalt language processor who is wired for resonance but often used as a “confidante for curated chaos.” Dr. Jaime Hoerricks describes the experience of being a “good listener” for people who present a staged version of their pain rather than an authentic emotional truth. This constant exposure to performance-as-connection feels like static to them and highlights the difference between reception, which is passive, and resonance, which requires genuine presence. Ultimately, Dr. Hoerricks explains that when faced with this lack of authentic connection, they choose gentle refusal and withdraw, not to punish the other person, but to protect their own need for real resonance.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/a-frequency-i-never-asked-to-tuneLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
