Creators of Zac Browser to launch software for people with autism on World Autism Day | The Autism News


This is awesome!  Who knew that there’s a browser that specifically caters to people affected by autism?  I will definitely have my son (who stays on the computer) give this a try and report his “approval/disapproval” rating!
