Understanding the intricate interplay of mirror neurons, empathy, and emotional regulation in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) reveals crucial insights for caregivers and professionals alike. Mirror neurons play a pivotal role in empathy, influencing how individuals with ASD perceive and respond to emotions. Caregivers’ ability to regulate their own emotions profoundly impacts the emotional well-being and behavior of those they care for, highlighting the importance of compassionate and mindful caregiving practices.
