Is autism an excuse for lazy, irresponsible parents?

good thing, this proves that kinect, xbox 360 and other gaming gears arent bad to everybody. it doesn't promote violence or bad games. it also helps!

What is a 'Kinect Can' and how much does it cost?

I sincerely hope that you're kidding.

You can't simply diagnose a deep psychological issue by having an automated camera system view someones movements... What if someone is just lazy and doesn't move a lot, does that mean he/she needs to see an expert because the kid might have autism?

How about teachers actually learn how to see this in children, instead of trying to take all the humanity of actually interacting with kids away, something which is especially important if someone has autism!

In my opinion, this is simply yet another useless project of a few students who want more study points, and MS is all over it to take credit and money if someone will ever be silly enough to professionally try to implement it...

Did someone actually proofread this article before posting it, because, IMHO, the title should read:

hanyu1966 is definitely not kidding. hanyu1966 is a dedicated spammer trying to increase a profile rating by posting generic comments in multiple forums. Just click the name and note the join date. That's the latest technique they're using at TH.

This is ridiculous. Nowadays every psychologist is looking to cash in by falsely "diagnosing" people's kids with autism

Apparently you're disgruntled due to being singled out as one of the "slow" kids in one of the test groups. Teachers are expected to run huge classes and do everything
else under the sun including the rearing of our kids. Their primary focus should be teaching and using any tools available to help them to successfully and safely do this. Any other skills they can learn are secondary and greatly appreciated and they should be commended/compensated.

The kinect resolution is way too low to effectively monitor the movements of a classroom full of 30 students. Maybe the kinect2 or something assuming it has a higher "dpi" for lack of a better word.

True and they also spot every single teenager has at least 1 disorder.

I think it is a wonderful idea but not sure if the Kinect is up to the task quite yet. As the tech improves it will certainly become more feasible. Still if this even helps a small number of children be detected in its current state it is still very much worth it. Early diagnoses can play a large role in treatment and development.
