(90.5,) noted tolerate at least 1 minute. Caregivers expectations positively would interact device surpassed in 15 cases (71.4%). Almost all using be (94.4%). Discussion: This preliminary report suggests is well usable diverse range ASD. encouraging devices being developed assistive technologies Further research should focus improving design exploring efficacy helping
