I think the problem is maybe that the symbology is directed at parents and is meant to provide what autistic kids can't to them.

So everything is loud and suggests intense social connection. Puzzle motif suggests everything will be OK if the parent finds the right key.

But the key is to stop pushing for connection. Autistic kids crave calm and comfort on their terms, not the parents'.

Concretely I don't have a lot of suggestions, except maybe turning down the color intensity and moving away from faces and human figures.

Except of course the audience for this crap isn't the kids, it's the parents. So nothing will change.

My brother's autistic. I hate the trend is to act like the disorder is super awesome. Often terrible, difficult, sad. But can't be said now.
