Abstract

The concept of THEORY OF MIND (ToM) refers to the ability to predict and explain feelings, thoughts, ideas and intentions of self and others. Patients with AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS (ASD) show a deficient development of THEORY OF MIND. Specifically, individuals with AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS fail to understand not only that others have minds, but also that other minds have different thoughts, and that behavior is determined by mental states.Individuals with ASD have marked difficulties to infer their own and other persons' mental states, what has been referred to as THEORY OF MIND. It has also been claimed that a person with AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS in part fail to respond appropriately to the emotional experiences of others These results show that although children with AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS can learn a simple discrimination between two identities, adaptive face-coding mechanisms are severely compromised, offering a new explanation for previously reported face-perception difficulties and possibly for some of the core social deficits in AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS.The author’s propose that the prefrontal cortex is involved in THEORY OF MIND; also, internal simulation mechanisms, such as the MIRROR NEURON SYSTEM, are necessary for normal development of recognition, imitation, THEORY OF MIND, empathy, and language. Additionally, the authors suggest that dysfunctional simulation mechanisms may underlie the social and communicative deficits seen in individuals with AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS.
