When my daughter was diagnosed with a severe form of autism over 11
years ago, my husband and I immediately got to work on finding out
different tools, devices, games, and programs that would help her. In
many cases, her unique ‘brand’ of autism meant we had to adapt the
available tools to her specific needs.
And that’s where this post comes in. Not only is there so much out
there for autistic kids–and most of it assuming that all autistic kids
are alike–we ran into another major problem: money. It’s not just that
we couldn’t afford this stuff, it’s that nobody can afford it. There are
seriously apps the cost over $300, mostly for the fact that they know
you’ll pay it if it will help your child.
Instead, here’s a list of more economical apps, and many of them have
lite editions that let you see how helpful they are before you invest
in the real deal.
Blocks!

Legos and autistic kids were made for each other, but
how do you take all that awesomeness on the road? With this Lego-esque
app called Blocks! All the building fun without hauling your kid's
expensive Lego bricks around, and it's perfect for providing a calming
activity during an out-of-routine errand that's taking too long.
