An intricate, varied illness called autism spectrum disorder influences interactions with others, nonverbal and verbal communication, thinking, comprehension of information, and social as well as cognitive behaviours. The study of the Theory of mind focuses on seeing, comprehending, and analysing mental events and the actions that follow from them. Research examines the cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of autism spectrum disorder via a psychological lens. The current study concentrates on how mind theory relates to the psychological, social, & cognitive growth of kids with autism spectrum disorder. The results of this investigation emphasize that there is a relationship between the Theory of mind and how well a -person's psychological, social, and cognitive abilities work. Hence, deficiencies in a kid's social interactions and intellectual and cognitive abilities systems are related to the restricted growth are observed in Mind Theory which has seen in autistic children. As a consequence, a viable alternative treatment technique involves taking a concentrated, comprehensive approach to their shortcomings while also using information and communication technologies.
