Understanding Theory of Mind in Neurodiverse ASD Relationships | Anne MacMillan from R.E.A.L.

Anne MacMillan from R.E.A.L. Neurodiverse dot com delves into the concept of theory of mind and its critical role in neurodiverse ASD relationships. Theory of mind is a fundamental skill that typically developing individuals, known as neurotypicals, use to comprehend and empathize with others’ perspectives. In this video, Anne explains how neurotypical individuals utilize this ability during social interactions, which contrasts with the experiences of individuals with ASD who often rely on memorized social cues and compensatory strategies.

Up until recently, I thought this was how everyone was but that I was just missing something and with time I would get better. I never got better 😂
