Theory of Mind

traineeteacher

Trainee teacher again... I have been researching into the theory of mind within ASD and found regular research about how people with Autism cannot make connections between different meanings of words and how this make it difficult to interpret what people mean when they discuss ideas etc. 

Does anyone have experience as a parent or a person with Autism themselves with this?

  • You might find Digby Tantam's "Can the world afford Autistic Specrum Disorder? Nonverbal communication, Asperger's Syndrome and the Interbrain" (Jessica Kingsley Publ 2009) useful in this respect. It is a novel theory but one I've found useful in trying to understand my own thinking and social perception.
