We did it! We've arrived at the final episode of Season 1. This episode picks up where episode 6 left off, by diving even deeper into the question: what's the relationship between empathy and morality?As always, you can find a (not Substack-generated) transcript of the episode, as well as a music-free remix, here.“Deliberative Empathy”In our last episode, we met Ryan.Ryan is a minister who has devoted his life to serving others. Yet, at one point, a psychologist told him he had “no empathy.”Surprisingly, Ryan could sort of see their point. He knew he experienced empathy differently than most people. He was even a little skeptical of whether empathy deserves the pedestal we often put it on.But hold on—even if empathy isn't perfect, couldn't it still be really important?In this episode, we explore a broader, richer view of empathy. Maybe empathy isn't a magic spark you either have or lack (which can be detected by a perfectly tuned psychometric test). Maybe empathy is more like a set of muscles we can exercise. According to this view, empathy is not merely a feeling, but a complex set of skills. These skills can look different from person to person, and can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time.To help us unpack all this, we spoke with the philosopher Heidi Maibom, who makes the case that empathy is far more than an emotional reflex. Instead, Heidi argues that empathy is a deliberate practice that plays a crucial role in living a moral life.Topics Discussed* Recap! (00:24)* Why we care about (and try to measure) empathy: we often assume that having empathy is necessary for being a good person. (01:29) * The original (and very dangerous) myth that autistic people don't have empathy, and its relationship to the “ToM-deficit” view of autism. (01:52)* A new myth: autistic have empathy and have a ToM deficit—which means that autistic people are like the mirror image of psychopaths. But this new myth comes with problems of its own. (03:06)* There are so many different types of empathy! But are these long lists of different types of empathy useful? How are all these different types of empathy related? (06:32)* An alternative way of thinking about empathy: it's a four-step process (Fletcher-Watson and Bird, 2020) . The third step is the most important—and autistic people tend to be really good at that third step. (07:37)* But wait—maybe we need to further complicate how we think about empathy. (12:16)* Meet Heidi! (14:04)* Heidi's personal story illustrating the complexity of the empathy process. (14:56)* Heidi's view of empathy: it's a set of skills that allows us to navigate interpersonal negotiations. (17:40)* It's totally possible that autistic people engage in this process differently—but that doesn't entail any sort of “empathy deficit.” (18:17)* We should think about empathy developmentally. (20:27)* Recall: some people are pretty skeptical of empathy's importance. (22:23)* But in spite of these criticisms, Heidi maintains that empathy is really important. (24:33)* Heidi suggests some ways to “do” empathy better. (26:56)* Heidi thinks empathy is important for living a good, moral life, because morality isn't just a simple set of rules. (28:49)* Empathy is also helpful for reflecting on your own actions (hat-tip to Sartre). (32:02)* Plus, empathy is useful for recognizing the full value of other people. (33:06) * Heidi's response to the criticism that empathy is biased. (33:52)* The complexity of the empathy process opens up many different ways of “doing” empathy. (37:58)* We can all deliberately practice flexing our empathy muscles. Could this help non-autistic people empathize with autistic people? (39:14)Sources Mentioned* For more on how a person's “psychopathic” tendencies could be channeled into pro-social behavior: * Ohikuare, “Life as a Nonviolent Psychopath,” The Atlantic (2014).* Gagne, Sociopath: A Memoir (2024).* Heidi Maibom's work on empathy:* An overview: https://www.heidimaibom.com/empathy* Heidi's books: https://www.heidimaibom.com/books* Heidi's articles: https://www.heidimaibom.com/articles* Fletcher-Watson and Bird, “Autism and Empathy: What are the real links?” Autism, Vol. 24, Issue 1 (2020).* Examples of how DBT might boost empathy: * Giles, et al., “A thematic analysis of the subjective experiences of mothers with borderline personality disorder who completed Mother-Infant Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: a 3-year follow-up,” Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Regulation, Vol. 11, Article 25 (2024).* Mardani, et al., “The Impact of Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Reducing Emotional Exhaustion and Enhancing Empathy,” Journal of Personality and Psychosomatic Research, Vol. 1, No. 3 (2023).* Research on DBT and autism: * Keenan, et al., “Leveling Up Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Autistic Individuals with Emotion Dysregulation: Clinical and Personal Insights,” Autism in Adulthood, Vol. 6, No. 1 (2024).* Bloom, Against Empathy (2016).* Research on “thin slice” judgments, in which non-autistic people make negative snap judgments about autistic people:* Sasson, et al., “Neurotypical Peers are Less Willing to Interact with Those with Autism based on Thin Slice Judgments,” Scientific Reports (2017).* Research on autism and bullying:* Trundle, et al., “Prevalence of Victimisation in Autistic Individuals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” Trauma, Violence, and Abuse, Vol. 24, Issue 4 (2023). * Ryan Althaus:* From Emaciated to Emancipated: The Story of a Skinny Mango (2023).* Even more books by Ryan!* Ryan's radio show. * More on how everyone needs to flex their empathy muscles: “How to Really Know Another Person” (Hidden Brain, 2022)CreditsHosting, Research, Fact-Checking, Script-Editing: Amelia Hicks and Joanna LawsonGuests: Heidi Maibom and Ryan AlthausMusic and Audio Production: Amelia HicksThank-YousA huge thank you to Heidi Maibom for helping us complicate our concept of empathy!

In this episode of Dates, Mates, and Babies with the Vallottons, Jason and Lauren share wisdom from their unique experience raising both adult children and toddlers. Drawing from years of hands-on parenting, they dive into the intentional strategies that shape children into healthy, resilient adults—especially in a world that's vastly different from the one they grew up in.Topics covered include:Why the goal is raising adults, not just managing childrenThe importance of skills like delayed gratification, perseverance, and planningHow to build family identity through phrases like “Vallottons tell the truth” and “Vallottons are helpers”Why today's parenting landscape is nothing like past generations—and what to do about itHow to establish healthy boundaries: what decisions your child makes on their own vs. with your inputA new way to view trust: as a developmental process, not just a reflection of characterWhy certain "non-negotiables" (like music or swim lessons) are actually gifts you give your childCreating rhythms and structure while your kids are still moldable—because character is built earlyWhether you're in the toddler trenches or navigating teenage independence, this conversation offers practical tools and timeless vision for parenting with the end in mind.
Read the full transcript here. What does autism feel like from the inside? Do autistic people lack empathy? What is context insensitivity? What are some ways special interests can manifest in autistic people? What are some less common ways stimming can manifest? What are the main components of autism? Can you be diagnosed with autism if you meet all the diagnostic criteria but didn't have any symptoms in childhood? Is autism only a problem in relation to neurotypical people? Is there a link between IQ and autism? What does the DSM fail to capture about autism? Is there some underlying commonality among all the seemingly disparate symptoms of autism? How have the label and diagnosis changed as the field of psychology has grown and improved? Thinking about autism as a spectrum is better than thinking about it as a binary, but is there an even better way to think about it? How does gender intersect with autism? How does ADHD intersect with autism? How valid is self-diagnosis? How can you better interact with autistic people in your life? What should you do if you think you might have autism?Dr. Megan Anna Neff is a clinical psychologist, author, and founder of Neurodivergent Insights. She is the author of Self-Care for Autistic People and The Autistic Burnout Workbook.

CardioNerds (Dr. Claire Cambron and Dr. Rawan Amir) join Dr. Ayan Purkayastha, Dr. David Song, and Dr. Justin Wang from NewYork-Presbyterian Queens for an afternoon of hot pot in downtown Flushing. They discuss a case of congenital heart disease presenting in adulthood. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Su Yuan, and audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes. A 53-year-old woman with a past medical history of hypertension visiting from Guyana presented with 2 days of chest pain. EKG showed dominant R wave in V1 with precordial T wave inversions. Troponin levels were normal, however she was started on therapeutic heparin with plan for left heart catheterization. Her chest X-ray revealed dextrocardia and echocardiogram was suspicious for the systemic ventricle being the morphologic right ventricle with reduced systolic function and the pulmonic ventricle being the morphologic left ventricle. Patient underwent coronary CT angiography which confirmed diagnosis of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) as well as minimal non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Her chest pain spontaneously improved and catheterization was deferred. Patient opted to follow with a congenital specialist back in her home country upon discharge.

Pearls- A Case of Congenital Heart Disease Presenting in Adulthood Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA) is a rare and unique structural heart disease which presents as an isolated combination of atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance resulting in physiologically corrected blood flow. CCTGA occurs due to L looping of the embryologic heart tube. As a result, the morphologic right ventricle outflows into the systemic circulation, and the morphologic left ventricle outflows into the pulmonary circulation. CCTGA is frequently associated with ventricular septal defects, pulmonic stenosis, tricuspid valve abnormalities and dextrocardia. CCTGA is often asymptomatic in childhood and can present later in adulthood with symptoms of morphologic right ventricular failure, tricuspid regurgitation, or cardiac arrhythmias. Systemic atrioventricular valve (SAVV) intervention can be a valuable option for treating right ventricular failure and degeneration of the morphologic tricuspid valve. notes- A Case of Congenital Heart Disease Presenting in Adulthood Notes were drafted by Ayan Purkayastha. What is the pathogenesis of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries? Occurs due to disorders in the development of the primary cardiac tube Bulboventricular part of the primary heart forms a left-sided loop instead of right-sided loop, leading to the normally located atria being connected to morphologically incompatible ventricles This is accompanied by abnormal torsion of the aortopulmonary septum (transposition of the great vessels) As a result, there is ‘physiologic correction' of blood flow. Non-oxygenated blood flows into the right atrium and through the mitral valve into the morphologic left ventricle, which pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. Oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins flows into the left atrium and through the tricuspid valve to the morphologic right ventricle, which pumps blood to the aorta. Compared with standard anatomy, the flow of blood is appropriate, but it is going through the incorrect ventricle on both sides. Frequent conditions associated with CCTGA include VSD, pulmonic stenosis and dextrocardia

The brilliant Tracy Otsuka is back on the show for another rich conversation about why ADHD so often gets misdiagnosed (or completely missed) in women, how trauma can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, and what you can actually do to function and advocate for yourself if you're dealing with either (or both) during divorce. We also dig into the very real challenges of trying to function while your brain is in a constant state of overwhelm: whether that's from trauma, ADHD, or the mental chaos that comes when the lines between them blur. Tracy breaks down the importance of understanding how your brain is wired, why traditional systems so often fail neurodivergent women, and how to build supports that actually work for you. Whether you're navigating ADHD or the aftermath of trauma, reclaiming your own narrative isn't just important, it's necessary, especially if someone else is trying to write it for you. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: How ADHD presents differently in women than men and why so many of us go undiagnosed (3:23) The difference between a trauma state and ADHD and why knowing the distinction matters (10:15) What to do when your ADHD diagnosis is used against you by your partner or ex in a weaponized or manipulative way (22:10) How gender roles and stereotypes create additional shame and pressure for neurodivergent women (26:16) Tracy's brilliant tip for using ChatGPT as a digital support tool in divorce (30:58) Learn more about Tracy Otsuka: Tracy Otsuka, JD, LLM, AACC, ACC, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast.

Dr. Phil explores the growing trend of young adults choosing to live with their parents—and the social consequences that come with it. He talks with a 24-year-old woman who defends living rent-free with her mother and a mother who believes sharing her home with her adult daughter sets her up for future success. The debate escalates when Dr. Phil brings in renowned podcaster Jennifer Cohen, who argues that parents who house their grown children may be holding them back from becoming capable, resilient adults. Later, a 27-year-old woman opens up about never having left home and reveals how the idea of venturing out alone triggers crippling anxiety.
