    How much do you know about Autism?

    Simon Baron-Cohen proposed the 'empathy-systematization' theory to explain autism. What is your central idea?

    Answers

    Autistic people tend to show a cognitive style oriented toward systematization and a lower aptitude for social empathy.Correct
    Autism is caused by a lack of motivation for music
    Autistic people lack any type of intelligence
    Mathematical and social skills are identical in all individuals

    The theory suggests that some brains are more inclined to analyze rules and patterns (systematization) and less to intuitively process other people's emotions and mental states; This would explain certain autistic profiles.
