Mindblindness: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind - Mindblindness
Baron-Cohen, Simon (Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, Cambridge University)
This text argues that specific neurocognitive mechanisms have evolved that result in "mindreading", an ability to interpret, for the most part unconsciously, non-verbal actions. It suggests that autistic children suffer from "mindblindness" due to selective developmental impairment in mindreading.
