a form of psychotherapy, as well as a branch of clinical behavior analysis. It is an empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies along with commitment and behavior-change strategies to increase psychological flexibility.
… eine neuere Form der Psychotherapie, bei der klassische verhaltenstherapeutische Techniken mit achtsamkeits- und akzeptanzbasierten Strategien und mit Interventionen zur Werteklärung kombiniert werden und die statt auf Emotionsunterdrückung auf Emotionsakzeptanz in Form einer positiven Neubewertung negativer Emotionen abzielt. Der therapeutische Ansatz wurde maßgeblich von dem US-amerikanischen Psychologen Steven C. Hayes entwickelt und beruht auf dessen Bezugsrahmentheorie (Relational Frame Theory), einem kontextualistischen Erklärungsmodell für sprachlich-gedankliche Prozesse, welches eine Weiterentwicklung verhaltensanalytischer Erklärungsansätze skinnerscher Prägung darstellt.

Autistic People's Experience of Empathy and the Autistic Empathy Deficit Narrative | Autism in Adulthood
Background: There is a dominant discourse, both in clinical texts and throughout the academic literature, that autistic people lack empathy; however, over the past decade, both clinicians and academics have increasingly rejected deficit-based descriptions of autism in favor of more nuanced explanations of the experience of autistic individuals in a social world. Methods: This study asked 76 autistic individuals about their own experience of empathy and the oft-cited empathy deficit. Data were thematically analyzed and revealed a wide array of empathic self-concepts among respondents. Results: Notably, there was a high proportion of hyper-empathic experiences. Many respondents reported their empathic responses to be overwhelming, or even distressing. These different experiences of empathy contrast with societal expectations of empathy, which often result in additional labor for autistic people as they navigate the non-autistic centered world. Conclusion: Although the academic literature is, in some areas, slowly moving away from a deficit perspective, more broadly there is still a negative impact from misconceptions around autistic people and empathy. Further work needs to be done to not only explore this misconception at a societal (rather than academic) level, but also better bridge the gap around the changing ideas of empathy and real-world understanding of autistic empathy.

the state of not knowing how you really feel about something, which forces you to sift through clues hidden in your own behavior, as if you were some other person—noticing a twist of acid in your voice, an obscene amount of effort you put into something trifling, or an inexplicable weight on your shoulders that makes it difficult to get out of bed.
