Timepoint: Components of theory of mind at the beginning of the study before the intervention and will be measured three months after the start of the study after the intervention and one month after the last intervention. Method of measurement: theory of mind is measured through the theory of mind Scale Questionnaire, the theory of mind Test, theory of mind stories.;Executive functions score, which is measured through the dimond's shape span, Missing scan test, shape school, day and night stroop,TRAIL-P. Timepoint: executive functions at the beginning of the study before the intervention and will be measured three months after the start of the study after the intervention and one month after the last intervention. Method of measurement: executive function is measured dimond's shape span, Missing scan test, shape school, day and night stroop,TRAIL-P.	—
