Why Your Partner/Spouse with ASD Blames You For All the Relationship Problems
This audio clip from one of Mark Hutten's lectures will help explain why a person on the autism spectrum will tend to blame others for his/her trials and tribulations:
Theory of mind [summary]:
- allows people to infer the intentions of others, as well as to think about what's going on in someone else's head, including hopes, fears, beliefs, and expectations
- develops as children gain greater experience with social interactions
- encompasses the ability to attribute mental states, including emotions, desires, beliefs, and knowledge
- social-cognitive skill that involves the ability to think about mental states, both your own and those of others
- the ability to understand that other people's thoughts and beliefs may be different from your own and to consider the factors that have led to those mental states
