It was designed by autism researchers based at the Univ of Edinburgh so its pretty pedagogically sound.

Direct link is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/findme-autism/id491925436?ls=...

Also, the app is done in Cocos2D, but we might rebuild it in Unity and release it onto android if there's a demand for it ...

Thank you for this initiative!

I wonder what process did you use to make this game? Did you have any help from experts on autism?

Yes, they do have experts on the team: _The app is part of the output for the Click East Project (www.clickeast.co.uk) which is investigating the possibilities of using Computer Games to teach Social Attention Skills to children with autism. The project is led by Sue Fletcher-Watson at the School of Education at Edinburgh University._

My cousin's wife is a teacher who works with kids with autism, so this might be useful for her. Thanks!

Awesome. Please pass on any comments/feedback. We'd love to hear from her.

I wonder what the licence is. Would be good to have it ported to other platforms.
