Trainer’s Notes:
Empathy
Empathy is essential when working with autistic staff. Autistic individuals may struggle
with cognitive empathy (recogniSing emotions) but not affective empathy (feeling
emotions).
Three Elements of Empathy (Daniel Goleman):
1. Understanding Others: Sensing and responding to others' emotions.
2. Developing Others: Supporting and mentoring team members.
3. Leveraging Diversity: Creating inclusive workplaces by respecting differences.
