About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of Predictive Processing as a potential explanation for autism, highlighting its promising aspects and related resources.

Predictive Processing (or coding) differences are a relatively new proposed idea about an underlying mechanism of autism. Preliminary studies do show differences, but not necessarily "deficits," which I think is promising. While it may not explain everything, it's a compelling theory that resonates in my anecdotal experience.
