Question for my #actuallyautistic peeps -- my son is also autistic, 7 yrs old, and seems to almost have object permanence issues? Like if he doesn't hear or see something he insists it didn't happen. Even if I'm saying "yes, I heard this" he'll say "no, you're wrong, it didn't happen."
Has anyone experienced something similar? How can I support his experience of the world while helping him understand that things outside his direct experience can still be real?
@jessmahler Look into autism and theory of mind and the sally-anne test.
My autism was never like that, but it's a very common thing (professionals cling a bit too much to it for my liking though, but that's just me not falling under it)
