SUMMARY:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents qualitative impairments as characteristics, related to interaction, social communication and behavioral patterns. The processes that enable social development and, therefore, the aspects mentioned, comprise social cognition, which has the function of mediating social relations. In turn, the area of social cognition with the greatest loss in TEA is called Theory of Mind (ToM), responsible for allowing the understanding and prediction of its own actions and the actions of third parties. It is through this meta-representation that a person can understand desires, emotions, cognitions and beliefs, as well as allowing to negotiate, to cheat, to teach. People with ASD reveal flaws in ToM, when expressing difficulty in establishing and maintaining social relationships, which directly interferes in their learning process and, consequently, in engagement with school activities, in interaction with their peers and with teachers. Digital games, in turn, have shown effective results in the field of education, notably for children with qualitatively different development trajectories. For this reason, this research has as its central objective the development of a digital game (ToM ToM) that allows to evaluate and stimulate the development of ToM in children with ASD. To this end, the game is theoretically based on the triad TEA - ToM - digital games for learning. With this study, we hope to build with the offer of a methodological tool that allows both evaluation and intervention, thus contributing to the acquisition of skills and new skills in the field of social cognition of students with autism.
