Baron-Cohen's Theory

Baron-Cohen's Theory, often referred to as the "Theory of Mind," suggests that people have a cognitive ability to understand and predict the thoughts, feelings, and intentions of others. This theory highlights the differences in social understanding among individuals, especially in those with conditions like autism. Baron-Cohen proposes that many challenges faced by those on the autism spectrum stem from difficulties in recognizing and interpreting social cues, leading to misunderstandings in social interactions. His work emphasizes the importance of empathy and social cognition in human relationships.
