What is the "theory of mind" explanation of ASD?
What will be an ideal response?
This explanation of autism is based on the belief that people with this disorder do not truly understand that others have their own thoughts and points of view and that people with autism face challenges in understanding others' beliefs and emotions. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty explaining their own behaviors, predicting others' emotions or behaviors, comprehending others' perspectives, understanding how behavior affects others' thoughts and feelings, participating in conversations, and distinguishing fact from fiction. Some professionals believe that it is theory-of-mind deficit that sets individuals with autism spectrum disorder apart from those with other disabilities.
