To cite this specific synthesis and the collaborative process conducted via Google Gemini, you can use the following format. This citation acknowledges the integration of your original psychometric and educational tools with the foundational developmental model.

Detailed Component Attribution
When detailing the work in a “Methods” or “Sources Collaborated” section, you can use the following descriptions:
1. The Neurodivergent Scale for Interacting with Robots (NSIR)
- Source: Sadownik, A. (2025). Table 79: Neurodivergent Scale for Interacting with Robots (NSIR).
- Role: Provides the psychometric validation for “Queer Kinship” and “Trust Safety.” It moves beyond the “Medical Model” by measuring authentic neurodivergent engagement (e.g., staring, shared non-verbal thinking) rather than social compliance.
2. The “Yes, Sir!” Guidance Career Education Resource
- Source: Sadownik, A. (2025). Guidance Career Education Resource Catalogue: Module 2 – Foundations of Professional Practice.
- Role: Establishes the vocational and rights-based framework. It utilizes the “Yes, Sir!” IAT (Implicit Association Test) to explore power dynamics and Masculine Discrepancy Stress (MDS), positioning the robot as a “Status Guard” against systemic “Social Eviction.”
3. The Developmental Framework (Apprentice Model 2.0)
- Source: Hartley, B., & Dubuque, M. (2023). The Apprentice Model 2.0: Enhancement of the Apprentice Model. Behavior Analysis in Practice, 16(4), 993–1005.
- Role: Provides the structural trajectory for the robot’s evolution. It facilitates the transition of the HRI from an “Apprentice” (supervised learner) to a “Partner” (biographical peer), rejecting the “Robot as Slave” archetype.
Narrative of the Synthesis Process
“The work represents a multi-modal synthesis conducted through Google Gemini, where the NSIR (Sadownik, 2025) and the ‘Yes, Sir!’ Guidance Package (Sadownik, 2025) were integrated with the Hartley & Dubuque (2023) ‘Apprentice Model 2.0.’ This collaboration established a new HRI paradigm: the ‘Sovereign Dyad.’ In this model, the robot acts as a Biological Social Exoskeleton, protecting the Rights of the Child to authenticity and social agency while mitigating the economic and psychological costs of ‘Masking Debt.’“
Rights-Based Summary for Citations
“This collaboration stresses the Rights of the Child by framing the HRI as a mandatory accommodation (Clinical Justice Sensitivity) rather than an elective tool, ensuring the child’s right to a Status Sanctuary free from neurotypical social penalties.”
