Autism and the Social Mind - Peter Mundy - Scientific American

This quote was added by blgsglm
Developing the ability to coordinate attention socially is important in and of itself. For example, every teacher's admonition to students to "pay attention!" is really a request to "pay attention to what I am attending to." Joint attention is vital to social competence at all ages. Adolescents and adults who cannot follow, initiate or join with the rapid-fire changes of shared attention in social interactions may be impaired in their capacity for relatedness and relationships.
