So I played this game yesterday designed for children with autism and I actually got some wrong. Like this one, how does the girl look "interested"? (start playing the game and you'll run across it).

Here is the link

I think some of the woman's facial expression I took a while to figure out.

I missed that one, too. I think the idea is she's concentrating on what's in her hands, since they had the same sort of picture up with the guy for "interested" in a later section. I think it's odd that they would have all the other expressions facing the user, but not "iterested."

The images don't work for me.

Same here. I am using Firefox- is there a browser requirement for that site?

They didn't for me, either, at first. Click "Back to Free Games", then click on "The Feelings Game" in the menu.

I had the same problem with the images not working and I clicked on the "free games" link and just started from the beginning, here: http://do2learn.com/games/feelingsgame/index.htm

I missed the little girl "interested" one too, and I had a hard time with some of the woman's faces, especially "sad".

edit: pschristmas beat me to it.

I had trouble with afraid and surprised. Hard to distinguish between the two.

I didn't get the girl's interested face yet, but the woman's interested face looks like she's trying to stare you into submission. The girl's sad face looks like she's bored. The girl's scared face looks surprised.

I think it's funny that in part two they give you the answer in the address bar.

It made me accept cookies before they would work for me.

Yeah, that amused me, too. Especially the little scenario where they gave a man's name, but there's only on guy in the set of photos.

Those pictures are terrible. And they use the same picture for "afraid" and "surprised." I stopped after four pictures (because I was annoyed with the pictures)- and I got two of those four wrong! The picture for "sad" just looks like she is bored- I thought there was a much better one for "sad", but apparently that one is "ashamed." I do not agree with those labels.

No they don't but they look similar.

That girl is not blooming interested! You can see how she's looking away and picking her fingers. That is a sign of uninterested...

I chose the little girl & got three wrong. I got shocked wrong twice & afraid wrong once. Honestly, I think even a non autistic person taking this would have had some problems, too.
