Had she been one of the prissy poodles who thinks she's better than the rest of us mutts, I would not have been surprised. Ms. Queen Bee did not fit that category either. I'm sure her life did not depend upon being first in line. And, since I was respecting waiting line etiquette, I was not supposed to know what she was mailing. ;-P<br /><br />Penny, you are so right on being able to develop theory of mind. It is so exciting to watch Pamela learn how to read my mind!walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-43984768661410044832010-02-25T07:22:03.574-05:002010-02-25T07:22:03.574-05:00I remember the first time someone explained "...I remember the first time someone explained "theory of mind" to me. It was Dr Richard Solomon, a beloved Floortime expert, in a workshop about his PLAY Project. <br /><br />I remember coming away from the presentation with the idea that "theory of mind" mysteriously comes upon most children and not on children with autism. Dr Solomon didn't give me the progression of development that explained how theory of mind (joint attention) (intersubjectivity) develops. It wasn't until Dr Gustein lectured on the developmental levels of intersubjectivity that I realized that theory of mind doesn't simply happen or not happen -- it grows through a distinct and thoroughly documented set of stages via experience with another person, usually Mom and Dad, and yes, parents have an opportunity to go back in development and "do over" the steps and levels of intersubjectivity with a child on the autism spectrum (or Down Syndrome or other developmental delay) and see the child grow (naturally) in theory of mind.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646382031666180357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-86584712739275832792010-02-24T22:29:30.884-05:002010-02-24T22:29:30.884-05:00I have to wonder about the bossy lady some more. ...I have to wonder about the bossy lady some more.
