Comments on Auti Interactive Toy For Autistic Children
This little toy may be of special interest to Anne McCaffrey fans. (Read
the complete story)
| "This could be used to help autistic children... OTOH, imagine using smart toys and games to program children to be less likely to rebel against authority in a totalitarian regime..." (Yossi Preminger 7/8/2011 8:19:58 AM) |
| "Aw, how cute! It's like a cross between a Tribble and a headcrab ^_^ A rather touching news story, helping kids with problems overcome their difficulties. Nice find! " (Gatomon41 7/8/2011 4:42:11 PM) |
| "Tho I note they don't seem to have considered one major problem. Many autists find certain textures extremely disagreeable. For some, it's the soft textures of the psuedo-fur that the Auti has which would trigger negative reactions..." (Ashley 7/9/2011 9:22:50 AM) |
| "ok, I know nothing about autism, but is a robotic and non-lifelike toy the best thing for an autistic child? Seems like adding more weirdness in a situation where the child is trying to learn to adjust to reality." (duG 7/12/2011 10:59:32 AM) |
| "duG: there will be lots of argument about it, but the basic answer is "this could really help lots of autistic children". there's also going to be a large number for whom this is a very bad idea. the problem is, looking at history, this option is going to be either blanket-accepted or blanket-rejected. (I have asperger's syndrome. part of the autism spectrum, and the reason I mentioned the bit about textures)" (Ashley 7/12/2011 7:18:19 PM) |
