Theory of Mind doesn't quite cut it for explaining AS individuals' lack of social skills. The trick to being seen as socially effective is not really to "be a good listener" but rather to "appear" to be a good listener. The socially effective person (SEP) attends to relevant stimuli (e.g., pauses, vocal intensity, non-verbals) and responds in kind. Any clinician knows that you don't really listen to content all the time...it's just not possible to catch every word when you're seeing 7 or 8 hours of clients in a day. So, the SEP doesn't have to "know" what others are thinking or feeling (a la Theory of Mind). This model misses the point.
