Theory of mind (ToM) is thought to be fundamental to successful navigation of the social world. Individual differences in ToM in children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have prompted the examination of possible contextual correlates of this ability, including the sibling constellation. Both the presence and age of siblings, and in children with ASD, specific roles of older and younger siblings, have been linked to ToM. In contrast, scant attention has been paid to early peer social experiences, which could play a role in ToM development. Additionally, the association between ToM and school readiness is in need of empirical refinement in the typically developing (TD) literature, and has been understudied in ASD. The current multi-method study examined links among early child care experiences, friendship quality, the sibling constellation, ToM, and school readiness in a sample of 96 children (4-6 years) and their parents: 63 children with ASD and 33 TD children. Children were administered a battery of ToM tasks and a behavioral measure of school readiness. Parents reported on their child's history of child care, friendship quality, sibling constellation, and socio-emotional and self-help school readiness. Results of separate multiple regression models indicated poorer positive friendship quality, ToM, and school readiness in children with ASD compared to TD children. Positive friendship quality was positively related to social-emotional school readiness and self-help school readiness in children with and without ASD, but it was positively associated with ToM in children with ASD, and negatively associated with ToM in TD children. Little evidence was observed for an association between child care experiences and ToM in either diagnostic group. A relatively consistent inverted U-shaped relationship was observed between time spent in center-based care and aspects of school readiness in children with ASD. Number of child-aged siblings and presence of older siblings were positively associated with ToM in a subgroup of children with ASD. ToM was also positively associated with cognitive/motor school readiness in children with ASD; this relationship was mediated by receptive language ability. These findings may serve to inform parents, child development professionals, and interventions targeting ToM and school readiness.
