| Summary: | This article situates the breakdown of inter-neuro communication by exploring systemic and interpersonal barriers Autistic people experience navigating an allistic (non-autistic) world. Specifically, the Autistic experience is conceptualized through the framework of Martin Buber’s encounter vs. misencounter. By identifying collective and interpersonal barriers to mutual recognition, this article explores collective, intersubjective, and subjective elements that contribute to the perpetual misencounters that occur in Autistic-allistic interactions. This article first identifies systemic barriers by exploring the concept of autism narratives vs. Autistic stories. Secondly, this article explores intersubjective barriers that contribute to failed recognition. The author argues for a conceptual shift from Autistic communication "deficits" as intrinsic to the Autistic person toward considering social-communication differences as existing within the intersubjective space (i.e., the communication breakdown that occurs between two people of different neurotypes). By suggesting both participants contribute to a failed connection and struggle to perceive the other’s mind, this casts cross-neurotype interactions akin to intercultural communication frameworks. |
