Double Empathy Problem theory needs different illustration

The well-meaning illustration at Double empathy problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity#/media/File:Autism_Double_Empathy_1.png) appears biased by showing the difference between the 2 as the neurodiverse person's mind being a rainbow and the other person's less interesting or even black and white, simply by the fact that it is representing what is typical. The reality is that what is typical is also a rainbow. :-D The entire point of neurodiversity is that there is inherent beauty in the way all of our minds/selves work and all ways are part of the creative good of the universe, including those which are present in more than 50% of the population (thus neurotypical). Please use a graphic that shows mutual communication difficulty without it looking like the graphic has an empathy problem itself.

I totally agree! I will go ahead and make this change to replace the illustration with one that is more suitable to help embody that section. Kassafrass (talk) 18:43, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Edit to 1st Paragraph in "Within disability rights movement" section

The first paragraph in the "Within disability rights movement" section was lacking clarification and stronger sources. I edited this section to help it flow better and replace/add some stronger and more recent sources. Kassafrass (talk) 18:42, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
