Is this a claim that computers are better at emotions than some humans? Something does not sit well.

"Autism" is a term that is used to denote a complex set of neurological stuff, but one common theme is that autistic people have difficulty making sense of the deluge of sensory input. I could see how something which helps to simplify this could be helpful for some autistic people. So yes.

Wouldn't work for everyone- My brother was severely autistic and he would have just smashed the glasses.

Seems like its a soft push for creepy ad-tech from Google. Google will happily mine this data and eventually roll it into their ad business, while claiming its "anonymized".
