Cuddlies(™) and sympathetic plants are explored as a therapy to complete cuddle therapy, with a humanaspect, Cuddlies(™), a plushie based interpretation of the imaginary, designed from cartoons created bythe patient, is proven with IOT, Qi and IFTTT or RAVATTT to complete the therapy of cuddles and hugs.The curative aspect of human company and relationships. Technology assists in this with the integrationof conversational UI and plushies, thermoregulation and microclimate to ancient wellness therapy.A future application as proof of the therapy in Autism is described.Keywords: Cuddle Therapy, Plants and Cuddlies(™), IOT, Warmth, AutismWhat:We consider plant energetics in plants with a strong plant-human symbiosis and explore plant-basedenergy medicine in a Qi-based framework, where a Sempervivum plant is used in conjunction with aCuddlie(™) for energy-based curation in Autistic patients.How: Cuddle Therapy is popular as an integrative therapy,(Cullen and Barlow 2002; Finke 2019; Yamada2016; Wylie 1990; Pedersen 1992; Underwood 1999; Rosen 2017; Grader 2016; Morrison 2011) forsocial wellness and wellness therapy, in this paper we explore the role of Cuddlies(™) combined with asympathetic plant like the Sempervivum, with Qi coils and Air Pots integrated to the cloud with IoT.Using Sonoff controllers and IFTTT or RAVATTT, we make the plant communicative, more than acuddle buddy.In esoteric meditation, chakras are defined as the integration of the astral and causal planes, in plantneurobiology, we describe such Qi-chakras, as the integration of the force, the Qi with the energetics ofthe Sempervivum plant as a ‘chakra’ of a thousand Qi petals.This chakra with a cloud-based communication is in the warmth of a Cuddlie(™), thus creating aneffective healing cuddle.The effectiveness of this therapy in treating Autism Spectrum Disorder is the topic of an accompanyingpublication.Why:A warm cuddle from a human companion can be the best therapy, but sometimes an intelligent plant cancomplete any therapy, the IOT connection, and a physical Cuddlie(™) plushie, make a plant cuddler, realin warmth and messages, messages in light and sound, this curative Qi is a part of the healing of Quantummedicine.So What:Plant Companions complete the therapy of human companionship, completing the healing process, this isillustrated in a case study on patients with Autism spectral disorder.

Purpose Allely and Dubin (2018) and Allely et al. (2019) have emphasised that there are a range of innate vulnerabilities in many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are charged with the viewing of indecent images of children (IIOC). Currently, the association between ASD and the viewing of IIOC is poorly recognised and understood both by the general public and clinical and legal professionals. Design/methodology/approach This is a detailed case study exploring the contributory role of ASD symptomology in the viewing of IIOC. In this case study, the experience of the criminal justice system is also explored. Findings It is hoped that this case study will provide insight into and understanding of how ASD can in some cases be the context for vulnerability to the viewing of IIOC and raise awareness of the need to consider this at all stages of the criminal justice system, including while making sentencing decisions. This case study paper will also more effectively inform the development of appropriate preventative strategies and timely interventions. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first detailed case study which explores the contributory role of ASD symptomology in the viewing of IIOC in the academic peer-reviewed literature.

Through a case study of Jad (pseudonym), a music learner with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), I sought to understand his experiences as he engaged in peer scaffolding activities of a choral ensemble. The study illuminated the role of intersubjectivity (or shared understanding) in socially mediated music learning within an environment of inclusion. Through inclusive, play-full, intersubjective attunement of younger children to Jad, he increasingly took on a role as an empathetic teacher-helper, initially with his younger sister, then with other young children, then with the entire ensemble. Jad also increasingly displayed musical agency through physical movement during music-making, contributing to others’ understanding and musical agency. The findings describe intersections of play with intersubjectivity, focusing on learner attunement to affect and emotion in fostering an inclusive music education experience. Making space for peer scaffolding and playfulness within this music learning environment fostered shared understanding and empathy among all learners, including one with ASD.

Understanding the instructional role of tablet devices while teaching a group of learners diagnosed with autism was the purpose of this research study. Five children diagnosed with autism participated in activities involving traditional paper and pencil and tablet devices. Observations and interviews with learners and one teacher were conducted. The case study provided an understanding of the motivational impact tablet devices potentially have on learners on the autism spectrum concerning engagement and participation in learning activities. The study also revealed that technology in general and tablet devices, in particular, are used in the classroom as reward mechanisms and entertaining strategies to seize and retain the learners’ attention to achieve instructional goals.

Purpose Play is a critical aspect of children's development, and researchers have long argued that symbolic deficits in play may be diagnostic of developmental disabilities. This study examined whether deficits in play emerge as a function of developmental disabilities and whether our perceptions of play are colored by differences in language and behavioral presentations. Method Ninety-three children participated in this study (typically developing [TD]; n = 23, developmental language disorders [DLD]; n = 24, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]; n = 26, and autism spectrum disorder [ASD]; n = 20). Children were videotaped engaging in free-play. Children's symbolic play (imagination, organization, elaboration, and comfort) was scored under conditions of both audible language and no audible language to assess diagnostic group differences in play and whether audible language impacted raters' perception of play. Results Significant differences in play were evident across diagnostic groups. The presence of language did not alter play ratings for the TD group, but differences were found among the other diagnostic groups. When language was audible, children with DLD and ASD (but not ADHD) were scored poorly on play compared to their TD peers. When language was not audible, children with DLD were perceived to play better than when language was audible. Conversely, children with ADHD showed organizational deficits when language was not available to support their play. Finally, children with ASD demonstrated poor play performance regardless of whether language was audible or not. Conclusions Language affects our understanding of play skills in some young children. Parents, researchers, and clinicians must be careful not to underestimate or overestimate play based on language presentation. Differential skills in language have the potential to unduly influence our perceptions of play for children with developmental disabilities.

AbstractRecent prevalence estimates for autism have been alarming as a function of the notable increase. Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in screening, assessment and intervention for children with autism. This article reviews signs that may be indicative of autism at different stages of language development, and discusses the importance of several psychometric properties—sensitivity and specificity—in utilizing screening measures for children with autism. Critical components of assessment for children with autism are reviewed. This article concludes with examples of intervention targets for children with ASD at various levels of language development.
