According to Lisa Jo Rudy, the About.com guide to Autism studies have shown that Thomas The Tank Engine appeals especially to kids with Autism. She believes their simple expressions and all the crashing and banging of the engines makes it fun for kids with Autism.

Personally I feel Thomas The Tank Engine appeals to all kids. Aayan continues to love Thomas and he likes all kinds of documentaries on modes of transportation as do most kids of his age.

At least Thomas The Tank Engine is an intelligent program, I'm also okay with Barney but feel Telly Tubby should be banned. Its a brainless show with some retards running around in bunny fields giggling their jammies away and when normal kids love the damn show so why should it matter that kids with Autism like Thomas?
