Empirical Failures of the Claim That Autistic People Lack a Theory of Mind

Saw this in a comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25490527 , seemed worthy of a post of it's own.

They were teaching the "autists have no ToM"-claim as fact to clinical psychologists in universities in Norway ten years ago at least, don't know if they still do. From reading the article, the claim seems completely baseless and potentially harmful (but perhaps there are counter-arguments / better studies they're not mentioning?).
