How long before we get a train with both wheels and a hover skirt because it doesn't know what "it" identifies as?

In my opinion this is virtue singling nonsense.

I have a grandson who's very autistic, I doubt this will make any difference to him at all.


Autistic children are VERY specific, you can't point at something like this and make them like it and understand that Bruno is them, they simply don't get that concept at the ages this is aimed at.

My grandson is mad on dinosaurs and The Hulk, absolutely nothing else resonates with him no matter how much you try to encourage him.


The only possible benefit of doing this is to highlight the issue to "normal" children but even then I'm skeptical.

My granddaughter is nearly 6 and very intelligent, there's an autistic child in her class and although she is encouraged to be sympathetic with the lad and to interact with him both her and her friends just think he's naughty and aggressive and are wary of interacting with him because of what's seen as odd behaviour.

I see both sides of this having a very bright grandchild and two who have issues, one who's very autistic and one who has slight tendencies.
