    "title": "Action Understanding in High-Functioning Autism: The Faux Pas Task Revisited",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are said to\nhave deficits in “theory of mind.” The present paper explores\ntwo main accounts of the mechanisms underlying these\ndeficits. On one account, high-functioning adults with ASD\nstruggle to infer others’ mental states. On another account,\nthey lack an ability to integrate those mental states into a\ncoherent understanding of action. We tested these two\naccounts by making several modifications to the Faux Pas\ntask—a commonly used advanced theory of mind task—\nincluding the presentation of explicit mental state information.\nSurprisingly, in contrast to previous work, individuals on the\nautism spectrum exhibited both intact integration and intact\ninference.",
