二十年前，巴伦-科恩和他的同事提出了自闭症的心理理论假说；该理论为该疾病的关键社交和沟通症状提供了统一的认知解释。我根据解决了几个关键问题的研究来评估心理理论假说：自闭症儿童是否会发展心理理论概念？我们如何解释为什么一些自闭症儿童能够通过心理理论任务？心智理论的缺陷是否是自闭症特征的主要缺陷的原因？目前的研究支持这样一种观点，即自闭症不仅涉及心理理论发展的延迟和缺陷，还涉及超出传统心理理论界限的社会情感信息处理的其他方面。
Two decades ago, the theory-of-mind hypothesis of autism was introduced by Baron-Cohen and his colleagues; this theory provided a unified cognitive explanation for the key social and communication symptoms in that disorder. I evaluate the theory-of-mind hypothesis in light of studies that have addressed several key questions: Do children with autism develop theory-of-mind concepts? How can we explain why some children with autism pass theory-of-mind tasks? Do deficits in theory of mind account for the major impairments that characterize autistic disorder? Current research supports the view that autism involves delays and deficits not only in the development of a theory of mind but also in additional aspects of social-affective information processing that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of theory of mind.
