Does your teddy bear have autism?

Post Reply New Topic

I suspect my teddy bear may have autism.

It has few facial expressions.
It is often staring at people.
It has no friends at all.
It has a lot of difficulties in mimicking other's emotions (still smiling when told a sad event).
It has a restrained interest in the moon (looking at it for hours).

Does your teddy bear also have autism?
Do you know any efficient psychotherapy designed to help teddy bears with autism?

Is this a joke?

It's an interesting question, Laeti.

I don't have a teddy bear.

Of course. My Teddy Bear, "Alan Bear," traveled from Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England to me. His papers said so. It isn't a replica of Alan Turing's Teddy Bear he named "Porgy," and dressed in blue-tartan overalls, but it is quite close to the original, wears a knitted royal blue jumper with "Bletchley Park" stitched in white, and comes with a pretty good autistic pedigree (I checked).

Cute thread!

No, my teddy bear does not have autism. In fact he's a sociable bear. He literally looks more comfortable when sitting with other teddy bears. And he has different facial expressions too, even though his nose and mouth is all unravelled (he's rather old and tattered because I've had him since I was a baby and he's been loved). But despite having a ripped nose and no mouth and one eye, he still gives out a friendly, loving expression.

You are never too old to love your teddy bear.

looooooool

There's a funny commercial on norwegian TV about a teddy bear and a boy , the bear comes alive and they go to a fair.....the bear loses his temper when the boy wins another teddy bear though , thinking he's gonna be replaced and he throws it over the counter in anger

We have smokey the bear so why not stimmy the bear?

I don't think I ever had a teddy bear. I lived before they became very popular. This is what I had.
