Challenges the previous research which suggest that the core handicaps of autism result from a specific impairment in theory of mind (ToM). Testing of able autistic subjects who failed ToM tasks, those who passed first-order and second order tasks, with a battery of more naturalistic and ...

This study examined for the first time the test-retest reliability of theory-of-mind tasks when administered to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A total of 16 questions within 9 tasks targeting a range of content and complexity were administered at 2 times to 17 children with ASD...
