Does anyone know if one can get similar apps on Kindle (or the new Kindle fire)? Does anyone have experience with apps used for eye contact?
Thanks!

CBS is streaming it online - it's the episode about Steve Jobs.

22:58 here. Have you checked youtube? It may be there. Also, if you could share the apps you use, that would be very helpful. TIA.

I am a special needs teacher with about a third of my kids who are autistic. My son alerted me to the segment and unfortunately I only caught the end, does anyone know how I can view the whole segment? I have an Ipad and have since the day I got it, have praised how helpful it is to special needs students. I have downloaded many aps that are ridiculously helpful.

I saw it and thought it was good. I don't think the target audience was special needs parents -- i.e., the general population probably isn't familiar with this. I really liked how they emphasized that even though the kids couldn't communicate, they still had a lot of knowledge. People often underestimate the intelligence of all special needs kids. I'm in favor of anything that shows special needs kids in a positive light.

Did anyone else see this tonight? A lot of it is stuff we as parents already know. However, I was quite surprised at the brain imaging being done at U Pitt and the difference in a "normal" brain and Temple Grandin's. I know they're still at the beginning stages of understanding the neuroscience behind Autism but this visual was, well, wow.
