这篇论文是关于现象学的具身性主题与诠释学的相互理解（参与性）主题之间的联系的研究。我以自闭症为例，研究了后者的崩溃与神经多样性之间的关系。从这个意义上说，试图解释像自闭症这样的精神病理学不仅仅是理解人类状况的一种方式吗？在争取一个坚定的“是的！”对于这个问题，我阐述了一个移情神经渐进主义的案例。这意味着，我们不再强调“神经文化”之间的差距，而是对神经多样性的理解，这种多样性为跨文化的相互理解和自我理解提供了信息。在这种观点中，去分化现象学和认知科学对神经多样性的观点相互交流，神经多样性成为灵感的源泉，而不是分类分离的问题。
This paper is a study of the link between the phenomenological theme of embodiment and the hermeneutical theme of making (participatory) sense of each other. Using autism as a case in point, I investigate the relation between breakdowns of the latter and neurological diversity. Is trying to explain psychopathologies like autism in this sense not just a way of understanding the human condition as such? In arguing for an emphatic ‘Yes!’ to this question, I elaborate a case for an empathic neurogradualism. This means that instead of emphasizing the gap between ‘neurocultures’ we come to an understanding of neurodiversity which informs mutual and self-understanding across such cultures. In this view the phenomenology of desynchronization and the cognitive science underlying views on neurodiversity mutually inform each other and neurodiversity becomes a source of inspiration rather than a matter of categorical separation.
