Teaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read by Patricia Howlin

Teaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read by Patricia Howlin

The difficulties experienced by children with autism and related conditions in inferring the thoughts, beliefs, desires and intentions of others are well documented in numerous studies. It now seems that these deficits underlie many of the social and communication problems that are characteristic of autism.
