Re:(+) Autism --- (-) Consciousness - 2008/02/11 19:15
I agree that the study of autism (and more generally Autism Spectrum Disorders - ASD) is one of the right places to look in the quest for understanding consciousness.
A related topic to be remarked in relation with the study of autism is the key role of consciousness in social skills. The inability of autistics to develop a social life demonstrates the need of a model of the self (in other words, to develop a theory of mind – ToM) in order to successfully take part in a social environment.
