Well, Lojban has the same ambiguity problems as tp EXCEPT for syntactical ones. It also has more words, which helps a bit -- but not enough to justify the effort to learn them to get to a straightforward language. And I do hope tp will manage to avoid the circumlocutions of English (a vain hope, I know) and the need for politeness codes. i stay out of ASD discussions since I only know about them from television (Temple Grandin, Big Bang Theory) and introspection >|8)}

I don't know if this has been discussed in any papers etc. but I wonder: when it comes to two people with ASD communicating, is there a common understanding that makes it easier for them to communicate with each other, or are there other factors involved (low frustration tolerance etc.) that makes intra-communication with ASD even more challenging? The answer to this question might shade my opinion of what use toki pona could have in ASD therapy.
