I've written quite a bit about using technology to help young people with ASD's discover career opportunities and Google's Sketch-Up should be added to the list. A few years ago we were lucky when one of our faculty (an architect) discovered that one of our College students (with high functioning Autism) had amazing three dimensional modeling skills. This lead to a series of opportunities and that student is now gainfully employed with a local firm doing Computer Assisted Design.
Larry, I knew that if I came to your blog I would find a great topic for a paper I need to write (I'm a student as well as a teacher again, getting an M Ed now). This is terrific stuff! Thanks for spreading the word.

Larry, thanks for the great resources. I work with adults with ASD, have shared a number of your posts with clients and visit your blog myself for ideas and morale boosts.
