I’m currently researching what one would deploy on computers in a Linux lab at a school for kids with autism/asperger’s (all ages). I am finding the most amazing things. I need to log it somewhere as time goes by, to refer back to. So, this is very much a post-in-progress. Please feel free to comment more links (I’ll include them in the main post).

 - Updated: 31 March 2008: added a couple of very useful links that came up in Autism Western Cape’s March edition of the Spectrum News.
