"Advertising falls flat with autistic people."

Does anyone have ideas as to why?

It's usually all about the features and benefits, with lots of emotional manipulation. It's not that emotion, especially humour, isn't helpful; it's the manipulation and glossing-over that's a problem.

What we want are the facts and the specs. Also honesty about what it doesn't do or have.

Take this Dremel ad, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgKLhzArQTI
I'm sure the version I saw had a northern English voiceover, but it did contribute to me buying a Dremel.
There are some good ones given here!

I've got a couple of my own thoughts... just to add to that... 😊

1. My feeling is we have generally got a kind of allergy to any form of manipulation or persuasion?*

2. Perhaps a different kind of advertising would work better on autistics, since our brains work a bit differently?

I embrace advertising that is honest.

If the Coke commercial said, "Buy coke! It tastes like malted battery acid but it's the best tasting soda around!" I'd be more inclined to buy a coke.

"Hyundai - the cheapest new car you can buy and it probably won't fall apart in a year"

"Levi's: We recommend that you don't wash them. Imagine the savings in laundry soap and water!"
