There are many computer users have varying physical or mental abilities like autistic person. Therefore, there are different approaches to deal with the technical applications, especially for people with special needs who are suffering from using several applications. The problem that occurs with children with autism is mainly when the child with autism tries to contact and communicate with others. This is mainly because children find it difficult to articulate their thoughts don´t have any suitable way to make the others around them understand what they need.
