    I have very recently been diagnosed ASD, and in my childhood I think a toy pretending to have emotions, but in fact not having them, would make me much more anxious than no such toy at all, just me jumping around imagining things.

    Cats and dogs would be easier. Or soft toys.

      like that other comment said: it’s not for everyone.

      some kids are gonna love it, some are gonna hate it.

      target demographics for products aren’t monoliths ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
