Wow! This is interesting! A long article, but worth to read.

iHelp for Autism

thank you

Thanks for that SmileyPR it was interesting. There is definitely something about touchscreen technology which children with autism find easier to engage with. There are several people I'm aware of working on developing touchscreen software to support children with autism and even one package being designed as a diagnostic tool.

IPads could be even better if Apple brought out a robust version which wasn't going to break the first time a child had a meltdown and threw it across the room.

Thanks for that, SmileyPR. Very informative and could relate to a child I have concerns about.

Sharky.
