Theory of mind is harder for ANYONE stuck in fight or flight mode. We are just more vulnerable to being stuck in that mode.

But if the person is posing for the picture, they may not actually be feeling that way and only acting the emotion. Maybe autists can see past the acting or faking.

Expecting us to read an expression based on eyes alone seems like a test that we're guaranteed to fail, from the beginning, given eye contact difficulties. Adding more complex language on top of it just makes it harder for autistic people to appease the test. A deeply flawed premise doth not a conclusive test make.

According to Simon Baron-Cohen's early Theory of Mind work; *all autistic people lack a theory of mind mechanism*. And one of the most popular advanced theory of mind tests can identify this mechanism by found by guessing adjectives for a cropped photo of someone's eyes (yes, really).

Spoiler: It's a vocabulary quiz, not theory of mind, neurotypical-exclusive intuition or telepathy.
