Autism: An Exploration on Theory of Mind

When I first saw his big blue eyes and those tiny little cheeks, he fascinated my heart. I do not know that he will change my life forever. The first two years of my brother's life are normal. He is the same as any other child, but he began to retreat when he was two years old. The words and phrases he learned suddenly disappeared. If he changes everyday, he will not feel calm. This requires some doctors, and a few years later my brother was diagnosed with autism.

Eleven theories have been used to explain the dilemma behind this disease since Leo Kanner (1943) introduced autism into a definite disease. Three major theories express cognitive dysfunction of autism. These are the theory of psychological defects, the theory of execution dysfunction and the theory of weak center consistency. The theory of the mind means the ability to produce a complete mental state (belief, desire, intention, imagination, emotion, etc.) causing action. Core cognitive impairment

In my early work, I've explored the theory that children with autism spectrum conditions were deferred by the development of theory of mind (ToM): put themselves in view from others, And imagining emotions, 1995; Baron) - Cohen et al., 1985). When we think, or mentally, we not only understand the behavior of others (why does the head rotate around the neck? Why does their eyes move to the left?) . Looking at some interest, they know what they want.

Simon Baron - Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Cambridge, head of Autism Research Center, has helped develop some of the major theories leading to the current thinking about autism. One of the assumptions he continues to test is the "very male brain" theory that first appeared in the literature in 2002. The idea is that autism is caused by normal levels of androgens like testosterone, for example, by exposure of the fetus to higher. This situation creates ideas that focus on "systematization" (understanding and classification of objects and ideas) rather than "sympathy" (which takes into account social interactions and the viewpoints of other people).
