THE EMPATHY PROBLEM: Why ADHD and Autistic People Often Misunderstand Each Other’s Empathy

This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox are asking the question nobody wants to answer honestly — who's actually more empathetic, ADHD or autism? Spoiler: everyone's had it backwards.

They break down the three types of empathy nobody talks about, why Rich's empathy sometimes tips into full-blown overwhelm, and why the "autistic people don't feel empathy" myth needs to die. Rox also drops one of the most quietly devastating stories either of them has shared on the show.

If you've ever wondered whether you're actually empathetic or just anxious and pretending, this one's for you.
