Understanding Body Language: The Misconceptions

Conventional beliefs inaccurately suggest that autistics cannot comprehend body language due to a lack of emotion recognition and theory of mind. However, recent research challenges this notion, emphasizing that both autistics and neurotypicals understand and express emotions uniquely through body language. The traditional view overlooks the bidirectional nature of social interactions and the diverse ways individuals convey feelings, shaping a more nuanced understanding of communication across different neurotypes.
