Summary
Summary
In this volume, inspired by the ideas of Uta Frith, the internationally known psychologist and a pioneer in theory of mind as it relates to autism, Vermeulen explains in everyday terms how the autistic brain functions with a particular emphasis on the apparent lack of sensitivity to and awareness of the context in which things happen.
Excerpts
Excerpts
It is not my intention to present a new cognitive account of autism, certainly not at a time when there are reasonable arguments to give up on a single explanation of autism. With the hypothesis of autism as context blindness, I want to stress the importance of context and its role in the subcognitive processes affected in autism. This subcognitive account should be seen as supplementary to the existing cognitive accounts of autism. The next-to-last chapter in the book provides details about the relationship between context blindness and the three main cognitive theories of autism.
