Abstract
Mindblindness in autism / have suggested elsewhere that natural selection had produced a minreading system. In this paper, I will briefly describe four mechanisms which can be considered as four separate components of the human mindreading system : the Intentionality Detector (id), the Eye Direction Detector (edd), the Shared Attention Mechanism (sam) and the Theory-of-Mind Mechanism (tomm). I will report some of the most conclusive experiments which support the view that persons with autism are blind to minds, although id and edd are intact.
