Abstract

Discussions of communication across neurotypes typically reference ‘social deficits’ inherent to neurodivergent people, which educators and therapists then seek to remedy within the neurodivergent person. This neglects the existence of neurodivergent cultures and the reality that sociality necessarily involves the spaces between people, preventing difficulties from lying solely within one person. This chapter discusses the application of cross-cultural communication principles to cross-neurotype communication, including mutual understanding and the reapplication of Hutto’s Narrative Practice Hypothesis to a neurodiversity paradigm understanding of neurodivergent groups.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 12 Sep 2026 01:04.
