A major problem for autism and asperger adolescents is their difficulties with social interactions. Heightened by difficulties with speech and language.
Common with autism, the asperger adolescent will also lack the ability to mind read...."theory of mind",which a normally developing youngster will of cause have.
The term mind read or theory of mind is defined as having the ability to tell or guess at what another person maybe thinking
Theory of mind
This lack of theory of mind; being able to mind read may cause the asperger adolescent problems and ultimately can lead to social mistakes.
Normally developing children and adolescents will observe others and guess, through a combination of tone and body language, what the other person may be thinking or feeling. This ability is missing in autism and aspergers.
