Autism Awareness Fact of the Day
People with autism have no Theory of Mind! They do not understand that other people have beliefs, desires and intentions that are different from theirs. If they want something, they will take it. If they know something or are feeling a certain way, they expect that you know what they are thinking or feeling, but don’t understand why you are not, so they can’t/don’t tell you. They are rule followers and have a hard time bending the rules, and don’t like it when other people bend or break them.
