Theory of mind as pseudoscience

Wordsmith

I recently came across an interesting article on theory of mind: https://theconversation.com/no-autistic-people-are-not-mind-blind-heres-why-272848 by Travis LaCroix, a philosopher at Durham University. And, if you are interested in a deeper dive, the article contains a couple of links to research papers in which he lays bare precisely why theory of mind should be treated as pseudoscientific.

    Me and you both Marianne, although it's not so much that I'm preocupied as I find things like watching soaps boring and I just don't share the interests of many others.

    I'm also happy to see less deficit based ideas being thought and spoken about, especially in relation to autism, it can feel like if you don't share the most NT likes and dislikes it's because there's something wrong with you, but NT's are allowed to like different things without anyone writing papers on it.
