An increasing number of people worldwide are affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD); according to studies, one in 44 children is diagnosed with it. A central symptom is so-called "social blindness," i.e. the inability to recognize emotions in others and to react appropriately to social situations. Suitable therapy is usually based on one-to-one or small group support, which is only available to a limited extent and is cost-intensive.
