Coping with autism

Coping with autism

Our 10-year-old son has autism and often gets upset and anxious. We discovered that using a projector to create coloured light patterns on walls calms him down and stimulates him too.

My daughter is autistic and has trouble using a computer mouse because she has motor control problems. We bought her a trackball instead and she finds it so much easier to use the computer now. We bought a Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball from PC World for £19.99.
