Children with autism have difficulty recognizing emotions. The number of children diagnosed with autism has increased nearly tenfold in the past twenty years.<\/p>\n

The Transporters<\/em> is a DVD devoted to helping children ages 4 to 8 with ASC (autistic spectrum condition) to recognize emotions. It was developed by Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Autism Research Centre (ARC) in Cambridge, England.<\/p>\n

The DVD was released in the U.K. two years ago. An American version was released in January 2009. It includes 15 five-minute episodes, plus 30 interactive quizzes and a written guide for parents.<\/p>\n
