A friend of mine, sent me this link. A new web browser, designed just for autistic folks. I haven't tested it yet, but I knew you all had to see this. For the record, I'll now test all my web sites on this as well.

Grandfather builds Web browser for autistic grandson By Brian Bergstein, Associated Press
John LeSieur is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6-year-old grandson, Zackary. The boy has autism, and the whirlwind of options presented by PCs so confounded him that he threw the mouse in frustration.
LeSieur tried to find online tools that could guide autistic children around the Web, but he couldn't find anything satisfactory. So he had one built, named it the Zac Browser For Autistic Children in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free.
