@eigenrobot My mom asked me how I would feel if I came home after school to find her dead. I was standing the porch of our farmhouse looking inside at her. The light was on in the kitchen.I was 7. https://t.co/OdcSWz2NR0

@sarahdoingthing I didn't have grasp of theory of mind until I was seven. Had to come to it through reason alone - not biological incentive.

@eigenrobot I was 'aware' of things before then, my first memory is when i was ~2yo. But the awareness of my *self* in relation to others and their mental state being distinct from mine was that event.https://t.co/EkKY6slxIn

@marknadal I reactivated memories of faces earlier this year. Lived my whole life not being able to recognize people. Suddenly just turned on.I can remember the smell of the bathwater from the time my dad put me in the tub when I had my socks on. I was 2.
