title = "Longing to Connect: Could Social Robots Improve Social Bonding, Attachment, and Communication Among Children with Autism and Their Parents?",
abstract = "Social robots are showing promise in assisting children with an autism spectrum disorder to improve social, language, and behavioral skills. However, this emerging technology has yet to find a permanent place in the homes of children with autism in part because the long-term benefits of robot-assisted therapy are still undetermined. We present this autoethnographic case of a 10-year-old boy with autism and his mother to explore the perceived benefits of the long-term, in-home use of a social robot as it relates to the facilitation of parent-child bonding, attachment, communication, and social learning.",
