Am gathering ideas for a resource linking geographical skills and the autistic spectrum, to try and support teachers working with these students.
One project which looks particularly interesting, and links to a programme I have used for a number of years is PROJECT SPECTRUM, which uses Google SketchUp
Students on the autistic spectrum are often "visually and spatially gifted and 'think in pictures' " it says during the video clip.

From my observations, computer games such as 'Spore' also seem to offer the potential for creativity, and for communication which are worth exploring as well.
I would be really interested in hearing from anyone who has any other thoughts or experiences in this area...
