No theory of mind? Bollocks to that Simon Baron Cohen!

We had some choccy biscuits in our fridge that have gluten in them so ds1 isn;t allowed them. He;s been trying to get to them all day. I told him earlier to leave them alone. So he came up to me whilst I was on the phone, grabbed my hand and led me out of the room to ds2 who was on the computer. He then sidled out of the room. Guessing where he'd gone I peered into the kitchen to spot him hand on the biscuits, he saw me, laughed and put them back grinning all the time.

I hid them whilst he was out the room (so he tried another biscuit box- don;t usually have this many just had lots of visitors recently who keep bringing them).

He does do this sort of thing all the time, but today made me laugh.

Of course they have a mind but not understanding language and not being able to think in words makes communication hard.
The lack appears to be within peoplelike Baron-Cohen to me, unable to think outside the box to what really makes us human.
