As part of our Techology Week here is a quick link to our friends at Research Autism and their recent conference on Computers and Autism which had some excellent content including perspectives from people on the spectrum as well as the professionals.
A really useful event in getting beyond the enduring stereotype that "All people with Autism are good with computers" and exploring the real issues.

Presentations from the event are available online and some are very thought provoking. Note that to access the presentations you will need to register, but this is free.
