<br/><br/> An autistic person sometimes feels closer to machines than human beings. This intimate kinship implies an early “connection” with technology: the person becomes “coupled” with the machine. That is why using robots in psychotherapy seems particularly pertinent: on the one hand, the robot possesses characteristics of the living, or of the human, which prepares the way for an interaction with the other, thus for the transference relationship with the therapist.
