Communication challenges may result from a mismatch in perspectives between autistic and non-autistic individuals. While social interactions and behaviors differ across cultures, their impact on socio-cognitive abilities remains unclear. A cross-cultural analysis by researchers from Japan reveals differences in the mentalizing performance of Japanese and British autistic and non-autistic adults, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive measures to diagnose autism accurately.
