This is what children and adults with autism cannot do spontaneously. But, years of painstaking research has shown that they can be taught to do it. Clearly, this does not turn them into spontaneous mentalisers, but it does benefit their understanding of the otherwise unpredictable social world.  \u003cp\u003e‘In their scholarly introduction to the book the authors review an impressive number of training studies using different types of teaching aids. Informed by scientific evidence, and without any hype, they offer the best of these in \u003ci\u003eThe Workbook\u003c\/i\u003e. It contains teaching aids in picture and story form that are bound to inspire teachers. The general approach is to build up a sequence of skills in line with the sequence observed in typical development; from joint attention, to pretend play, to perspective taking, to understanding emotions, desire and more complex informational mental states such as knowledge and ignorance, and finally complex second order beliefs (eg: “he thinks that she believes he is telling the truth”). It is with these complex mental states that the new workbook has expanded most over the previous one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘This manual provides an invaluable source of ideas and techniques on how to teach children and adults with autism about mental states, and it never loses sight of the need to link this teaching to their social skills in everyday life.’\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eProfessor Uta Frith, University College London, UK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The \u003ci\u003eWorkbook\u003c\/i\u003e joins the authors’ seminal \u003ci\u003eTeaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Parents\u003c\/i\u003e in providing research-based protocols for developing and advancing mentalizing skills and social cognition in children with autism spectrum conditions.

The approach is importantly developmental – based on prior research and progressive sequences of concepts and stages of instruction.  It includes multiple foci, including teaching about differences in perspectives, about beliefs, about knowing, about emotions, and more. No one thinks that teaching mental-state understandings will address all the social-cognitive challenges faced by children with autism, but understanding the mental states of self and other is an acknowledged and crucial challenge for these children (and adults) and one that this workbook carefully and effectively addresses. It is a lively and practical book that will be a tremendous resource for parents as well as educators.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHenry Wellman, Harold W.
