Apps for Autistic Children
I listed a few apps in the android section, and I love the preview of the first app. I'm so glad there are apps being tailored for autistic children and adults out there, and they are actually being used! I listed some of the best ones I found.

I've compiled a list of 25 Android apps for people with autism at http://www.iautism.info/en/2011/03/25/list-of-apps-for-android.
It seems Android is gaining momentum.

Please permit me to introduce you to a new children’s educational game for the iPad and iPhone:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/counting-beads/id441820190?mt=8&ls=1#
Counting Beads is a totally fun way for children to learn numbers and letters of the alphabet. The numbers (or letters) appear as colored beads that you connect by dragging each bead into its next higher numbered bead. As you connect the beads in numbered order, you create a chain that follows the lead bead as you drag. This teaches the numbers visually. You can also move the bead chain by holding the device face-up parallel to the floor and tilting it slightly to let gravity roll the leading bead downhill. Even older folks can have fun with this amusing simple game.
A brief demo video of this app is available on UTube:
