mindblindness
Mind-blindness, mindblindness or mind blindness is a theory initially developed in 1990 that explains autistic people as having a lack or developmental delay of theory of mind (ToM), meaning they are unable to attribute mental states to others. According to the theory, a lack of ToM is considered equivalent to a lack of both cognitive and affective empathy. Mind-blindness in autistic people, in the theory considered a lack of ToM, implies being unable to predict behavior and attribute mental states including beliefs, desires, emotions or intentions of other people. The mind-blindness theory asserts that children who delay in this development will often develop autism. One of the main proponents of mind-blindness was Simon Baron-Cohen, who later pioneered empathising–systemising theory.Since the development of strong evidence to demonstrate the heterogeneity of autism and many failed replications of classic theory of mind studies, mind-blindness has been generally rejected by the scientific community.
