Anyone interested in research on social interaction in autism might also find this preprint interesting:
"Social Interaction Style in Autism: A critical review of social behaviours and outcomes in autistic and neurotypical interactions"

Status Quo?

Sadly the paper wasn’t about wearing two kinds of denim. But, happily, was about dismantling how we think about a Theory of Mind. 😁

Well, I've never understood why people like Status Quo.

Will they be playing "Down Down"?

Did I just read that this review suggests they are no further along in understanding the concept ND autism researchers have about ToM and how none of the test currently used to measure it seem to measure this thing they call ToM?

Was reading the paper angrily until the part of the Mindspace framework proposal.

So many theories and they all miss the basic problem. Autism is yet to be defined, since it's definition is made by declines of what NTs consider to be typical. Same with ToM. If 2E problem is not considered, there is no value in redefining ToM.

As mentioned in the paper, we, the NDs can also fool false presentations test by using what we've learned while masking and mimicring. Also, my preschool "patients" know how to best the Sally-Ann test by learned and often not understood way. Those who can't, of course exhibit greater ToM issues.
