I found this discussion interesting. Would welcome more on theory of mind.
One thing that I find difficlt to get my head around Longman is that people with AS seem to lack the insight that is ToM but can understand the principle of it. And someone like you can argue about the relative merits of the theory, and strength or otherwise of the evidence and yet still, apparently, lack insight (ToM). I'm baffled. My son is able to be highly analytical and understand some very complex stuff, but not apply it in practice very well. Maybe in some cases it is partly about an abstractions /practice split?? (Could you pass the geometric shapes puzzles test now, or is it still a challenge? What, if anything, does that tell us about capacity for learning.)
