Empirical Failures of the Claim That Autistic People Lack a Theory of Mind
Morton Ann Gernsbacher and Melanie Yergeau
This research is one piece of several that at last sheds new light on the myth that Autistic people are supposed to not comprehend Theory of Mind, ie lack the ability to see things from another person's point of view or imagine what it would be like to be someone else. For decades research has been done to reinforce this belief, much of it coming from the UK, with vast sums of money spent on it. New research however continues to debunk this and show the flaws in old thinking. This research reveals some of those flaws and the incredible harm that is done to Society by assuming that these claims are true.
