Autism and theory of mind?
So we have this thing called "theory of mind" which basically means the ability to see that others have beliefs, intentions and perspectives that may be different from your own and to put yourself in their shoes, something which is said to be lacking in people with autism and Aspergers'. However, I find it inconsistent that "neurotypicals" who supposedly have a stronger theory of mind and can skilfully put themselves in the shoes of others could hold such a negative attitude towards these people and can't understand how their minds work. Does anyone get what I'm saying?
