Peer reviewedHolroyd, Sarah; Baron-Cohen, Simon – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1993
Evaluation of 17 children with autism at the ages of 6 to 15 and then again at ages 13 to 25, suggested that, for the majority of people with autism, there may be little development of a theory of mind. For a minority, development may extend to the equivalent of a 3- to 4-year-old level by the teenage years. (JDD)
