    I'm autistic and I'm always so apprehensive about the treatments for autism, because so many of them are focused more on making the kid ""normal"" rather than actually helping them cope and achieve their goals. So I gotta say: this was actually really great to see! Meeting people where they're at, helping them develop skills, listening to them, lots of AAC devices, trying to help them with the problems they find most concerning, and yea; the police interaction shit. Like police brutality against autistic people is a HUGE problem. I get hassled by cops and security guards all the time bc they think I'm on drugs.
    All of this to say: you've got this autistic's approval!!

    I'm on the spectrum.
    Not a child, not for a long time.
    VR has been life changing for me though.

    I have Asperger autism. This is a very good video. In Media I often feel mispresented and a little bit offended. You did great work with this.

    Wow! Very cool video and great idea. I didn't know VR could make this great of an impact. Another great youtube video on this subject is 'Walking with Reality' on Planet Classroom Network. This short video is about a man who is in a wheelchair and people bring him the experience of VR.

    I wish there was something for non verbal children.
    Mine is 13 and still can only say 4 words, but it takes a lot of coaching for him to say mama.
    He watches my mouth movements and I say mama 8 or 10 times before we can get a sound to come out of his mouth.
    I wish there was VR of just a mouth slowly moving and showing how to adjust his mouth over and over again with each word.
    He's been kicked out of school because he has OCD and has to have all the lights off during the day.. he ended up hitting the teacher. So, we are home all day struggling. Can't take him out because he's unpredictable, and very strong, tall and fast.
    I want to try VR but I don't have a clue about them, or where to start.
    He loves to read, has his head in a book for hours at a time.
    When he's done reading it, he types out the book word for word, every single chapter.
    Same for television shows, he remembers the lines word for word.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated ❤️

    It seems that these children had some language.... How would this work for a child that was completely non verbal? I am interested in finding out more.

      Hi - I'm the CEO at Floreo. Floreo is being used with non-verbal kids as well. Since an adult coaches via the iPad, they can interpret sign language or other non-verbal gestures to help progress through the training. Studies with Floreo have involved kids and adults who are non-verbal or minimally verbal. Feel free to reach out to info floreotech com if you have more questions.

      @@vr8e Thank you for the response. I will definitely try to find out more. Will there be any integration for children who mainly use the PECS system for communication?

      @@specialwithasideofmom6677 Thanks for the reply. Floreo works with kids who are non-verbal or minimally verbal. And we are being used by children who are using PECS or AAC. Our head of therapy content is also well trained in using PECS so we'd be happy to discuss best approaches. When you sign up, you'll get emails that will allow you to contact my team and we can set up a call with our therapist to discuss best approaches. Thanks!

    I love how the show is called "Super Humans" and they interview people who can't leave the house without headphones because a bus or birds in the trees are too loud for them. Where's the "Super" in that?

    I can honestly say no, even though I have autism I was able to get into VR and the one of the first places I went to was a social app called vrchat, from experience I can tell you it's a struggle to be in VR with autism, there can be random sharp noises too weird flashing lights and of course talking to people that don't make any facial expressions because they use different avatars, it can all be a struggle and this something I would not recommend, I'm for the most part A young adult but I would highly recommend that no young kids with autism play VR ever, especially at a lower functioning, I have high-functioning Asperger's and that goes to show you how bad virtual reality can be sometimes on the sensitive mind
