Weird how bad logic sets off emotions.
That was my first objection to my family members.
Lumosity does however make claims on brain improvements.
Calling Lumosity bullshit due to some expectation towards it that it doesn't make is akin to calling vitamin tablets bullshit because they don't cure diabetes.

"Treats autism" is a medical claim so Luminosity would need to be very careful if they did ever make that claim. Which makes me gently suspicious of all the blog coverage. And specialist blogs for medical conditions can be full of cranks.
