What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a fun, non-drug way to help children with ADHD or autism manage their emotions and daily functioning better.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early study with only 25 children, no control group, and relies on parent reports, so results may not be reliable or apply to other kids.
