The etiology and symptoms of deficit – the theory of mind in autism

Summary/Abstract: One of important dysfunctions associated with autism is social deficit. It can be assumed that this deficit is related to the lack of the so-called “theory of mind”. An autistic person, therefore, is not able to predict the behavior and emotional states of others. This article is a practical attempt to analyze this assumption. The case described in the analytical part of the article clearly shows that the autistic person shows no interest in social activities, and if such a contact is initiated, they present large passivity. Communication with an autistic person is limited to the reaction to the stimulus and is always treated literally.
