This study tests whether children with autism will do daily 5-10 minute exercises if they see themselves, other kids, or kids in rabbit suits in a mobile app. Twenty children and their parents will use the app for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure how long kids stick with the exercises and how much they enjoy them.
