Abstract

Children with Autism and Asperger Syndrome, though they are very different according to the broad spectrum of the criteria used for diagnosis, can be greatly supported by the use of new digital technologies in their daily lives, at school, at home, with their families. The paper shows the design approach to an interactive application for high-functioning children aged 14 to 18 in order to generate independence in the children, to ensure their safety, to create a network of aware and careful people regarding the Autism themes in order to better support families. The design of the application involves families, patients and educators.
