People with autism often benefit from symbol-based communication. Check out this blog entry:
http://autismblog.easterseals.com/try-a-symbol-based-web-browser-for-free/

It includes a link to a free trial of a symbol-based Web browser that opens the Web to people with autism who would otherwise find it difficult or impossible to navigate the Web. And pass the link along to anyone you know who might benefit.

Thanks!
