- W380093048 abstract "The literature surrounding the autistic child's social impairment isreviewed. It is proposed that an impairment in some aspect ofautistic children's social cognition could account for many of theobserved abnormalities in their social behaviour.First, two lower-level aspects of social cognition are considered.These are mirror self-recognition and perceptual role-taking. Thepresent sample of autistic children did not differ from MA controlgroups in either of these respects, confirming results from otherstudies.A higher-level aspect of self-other differentiation is conceptualrole-taking. This ability is also called a theory of Thisliterature is reviewed and a hypothesis is proposed which suggeststhat autistic children have an impairment in their second-orderrepresentational capacity which has been argued to underlie a theoryof mind. This hypothesis is explored by means of 4 experiments.These showed that autistic children's first-order representationalcapacity, as manifested in their understanding of physicalcausality, is intact whilst their second-order representationalcapacity, as manifested in their ability to attribute mental statesto others, is impaired. This deficit was not found in controls.Furthermore, those few autistic children who passed a test ofattribution of belief at the ii year old level, failed at the(third-order) 7 year old level, despite adequate MA.Pretend play can be related to conceptual role-taking, since bothmay require a second-order representational capacity. The literaturesurrounding the autistic child's impairment in pretend play isreviewed and the final experiment confirms and extends previousresults in this domain.It is concluded that particular aspects of the social impairment andthe impairment in pretend play can be seen as the result of adeficit in one cognitive mechanism. This deficit is discussed interms of what has loosely been called an impaired symboliccapacity." @default.
