Abstract Autism is characterized by impairments in social interaction communicative capacity and behavioral flexibility. Some cognitive theories can be useful for finding a relationship between these irregularities and the biological mechanisms that may give rise to this disorder. Among such theories are mentalizing deficit weak central coherence and executive dysfunction but none of them has been able to explain all three diagnostic symptoms of autism. These cognitive disorders may be related among themselves by faulty learning since several research studies have shown that the brains of autistic individuals have abnormalities in the cerebellum which plays a role in procedural learning. In keeping with this view one may postulate the possibility that declarative memory replaces faulty procedural memory in some of its functions which implies making conscious efforts in order to perform actions that are normally automatic. This may .
