Abstract
The socio-economic status of populations that have been previously studies in ASD seldom identify the impact for varying levels of socio-economic status on outcomes, particularly the impact of maternal education. Fourteen participants, ages 7 to 13, were drawn from a larger study examining brain-behavior connections in ASD and response to a theory of mind intervention were included in this study. Children with and without ASD were assessed for ToM understanding, language, and nonverbal intelligence prior to the start of a Social Story intervention focused on one of the following emotions: surprise, embarrassment, and desire-based emotion. Following intervention, ToM skills were reassessed and served as a comparative measure of change. Results are currently being examined to determine improvement in theory of mind following intervention, and any influence of maternal education improvement observed.
