I am not sure if I am sad or happy. A research project- one devoted to improving the lives of autistic children- is going ‘mainstream’. The project- My Keepon. Basically, two bright yellow tennis balls stacked upon each other- with a black button nose and round-beaded-eyes. The name comes from the Japanese word for yellow (kiiroi), and the onomatopoeic sound (pon) it makes when it bounces or bobs.
