Abstract

There is a significant rise in the challenges faced by autistic children, particularly in the areas of social barriers and emotional behavior. These challenges impede their ability to express their emotions effectively. The research was done through interviews with educators and experts from treatment facilities, which provided evidence for increasing emotional issues in autistic children. Unfortunately, the demand contradicts the limited availability of emotionally relevant toys suitable for homes available in the market. Consequently, this study aims to examine the design criteria for emotional toys designed for home use by autistic children in both China and Malaysia.
