This paper suggests that autistic people relate to themselves via a third-person perspective, an objective and explicit mode of access, while neurotypical people tend to access the different dimensions of their self through a first-person perspective. This approach sheds light on autistic traits involving interactions with others, usage of narratives, sensitivity and interoception, and emotional consciousness. Autistic people seem to access these dimensions through comparatively indirect and effortful processes, while neurotypical development enables a more intuitive sense of self.

自闭症的自我意识：关于自我的第三人称视角

本文建议自闭症患者通过第三人称视角与自己联系，这是一种客观而明确的访问模式，而神经典型的人倾向于通过第一人称视角来访问自己的不同维度。这种方法揭示了涉及与他人互动、叙述的使用、敏感性和内感受以及情绪意识的自闭症特征。自闭症患者似乎通过相对间接和费力的过程来访问这些维度，而神经典型的发展使人能够更直观地了解自我。
