Still reading reports that state autistic children lack theory of mind ☹️

🔥 🔥 🔥 The myth that autistic individuals lack theory of mind TOM)—that they fail to comprehend that others have their own thoughts and feelings, or that they are unaware of their own mental states—is still widely believed and spread by professionals 😕.
➡️ ➡️ ➡️The TOM myth influences what professionals tell parents, what they write in reports, and what they focus on in therapy.
🤔 Did you know that the original studies that support this myth have not been consistently replicated?
🤔 Did you know that various tasks designed to assess theory of mind in studies do not correlate with one another, nor do they explain autistic traits, social interaction, or empathy?
🤔 Did you know that the belief that autistic people lack theory of mind is both empirically questionable and socially detrimental to Autistic people?

Thanks Dianah Davidson @functionfocusacademy for sharing this great paper. Pacifiers should be weaned at 4-6 months and replaced with mouthing toys for chewing and jaw development (Bahr, 2010; Overland and Merkel- Walsh, 2013). Weighted pacifiers are highly discouraged . #oralmotorisnotnew #oralmotorandfeeding #oralmotorisebp #pacifierguidelines #mitigatingOMDs
