We are going to start translating parts of the system into Spanish this month. Feel free to contact support@symtrend.com if there is something in particular you'd like to have translated.

This sounds to me like a system of self-suppression, based on the assumption that showing signs of autism is bad. I don´t like it.

Why don´t you try to sell this system to the Chinese government?

Thy have a population of over 1.3 billion people, that they want to control !

We don't force anyone to do use these diaries. This is not meant to be a negative experience. Some folks with AS/HFA want to change their behavior - do not want to show signs of autism.

This app looks great, any chance to get it in spanish?

Please clarify your question. I don't know what Aspinall is. SymTrend is an online and handheld computer system.

I completely missed that context, since I was in the middle of dealing with hardware for running our system. We were worried about what you mention - that AS folks maybe used computers too much already and need quality time with people to feel connected. We think this doesn't get in the way of the connection to people, in fact our reminders remind people to do that.

NT means Neurotypical (person) it's the first thing you learn in AS-world. Polarizing AS against NT is popular there. Concerning the video I can't say I believe in it. As an Asperger you typicaly have enough time with computers and want more quality time with people so that you can feel connected through understanding them face to face. Even if it gives seemingly similiar results I think that the feeling would be quite artificial and get dumped for real experiences later on.

I'm not sure what you mean by running this on a NT in a class. We have an online data recorder that can be used if the PC with NT has an internet in the classroom. It is a bit more cumbersome that way. Feel free to get in touch (617-484-7510) to get more details about how it would be done.

A lot of students with Aspergers have been given additional diagnoses and in fact have depression or anxiety that warrants some medication. We hope our technology can help alleviate those conditions, without medication.

Freaky. I like how "meds" are mentioned when Aspergers is not treatable through drugs.
