Thomas the Tank Engine to help with autism

[JagFarlane]

Thomas the Tank Engine Interesting. Apparently the fact that the show has the characters using very base and easy to recognize facial features for emotions assists autistic kids with recognizing emotions.

My son is autistic. Thomas was one of his obsessions. This could help explain why. The ceiling fans may take a bit more.

Meh, my favourite was the Owl in Mr. Dress-Up for similar reasons. Oh and Jeff the Mannequin from Today's Special.
