All the workplace is a stage: extending the double empathy problem through performative relationality.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Neurodivergent adults frequently experience difficulties in obtaining and sustaining employment due to challenges building and maintaining workplace relationships. Milton's double empathy problem holds that relational breakdowns in mixed-neurotype interactions occur not because of a social deficit within the neurodivergent interactional partner, but rather because of a mutual misalignment in social expectations and behaviors. A core implication of the double empathy problem is that shared-neurotype dyads experience smoother communication and shared understanding than mixed-neurotype dyads. However, recent work has questioned this claim and the double empathy problem, generally. We address this critique by arguing that it reveals the power of neurotypical expectations and that even within-neurotype interactions often adhere to these expectations to avoid the emotional and social costs of violating them. We draw upon expectancy violations theory as well as emotional regulation and labor theories to develop the concept of
