Threading an enquiry through debates in neurodiversity scholarship and disability studies as well as film theory, this book challenges the widespread idea that autism is an epidemic characterised predominantly by a deficit of empathy, arguing that the reverse is true: we are living through an empathy epidemic in which autism is the outcast.
In 1908, the British psychologist, Edward Titchener, translated the German term Einfühlung into the English language as 'empathy', around the same time that Eugen Bleuler coined the term 'autism' for a group of symptoms subset to an emerging classification of schizophrenia. Empathy became a useful tool to describe relations between people in a clinical context, but in the process of its incorporation into psychology, it shed its rich sensory meaning from Einfühlung as 'feeling-into' weather systems, architectural forms, and artworks. A remarkable reversal takes place in the first part of the twentieth century whereby empathy becomes an intra-human ethical act, and autism emerges as its inverse. Digging up and examining the buried relation between autism with an earlier form of 'empathy', this book argues that autism, like cinema, models an ethical apprehension of the more-than-human world.
