      Perhpas, a science-based philosophy of mind may be helpful to better understand social disorders.

      Prof. Rizzolatti may have pondered a general theory of mind that explains how our mind works, and he rightly pointed out that we need a better understanding of the underlying nerve cell mechanism. This knowledge would then help narrow the list of genes whose products might play a crucial role in the development of social behavior.

      The philosopher Martin Heidegger noted that a sense of time (memory) confers a sense of being (consciousness). Language bestows history. Understanding how nerve cells process memory and language may therefore be instrumental.

      Interesting interview, but couldn't help thinking that they over-complicated the possible paths to a good preventive treatment for Autism. Yes genetics may be involved but there is already so much evidence that Vitamin D deficiency (in both the mother and the child) is the main trigger precipitating this condition.
