To me, the most interesting part of the article was this: LeSieur didn't create the browser by consulting with people who are considered experts in disorders on the autism spectrum. The small software company he runs, People CD Inc., essentially designed the Zac Browser to meet Zackary's needs, and figured that the approach would likely help other autistic children. It seems to me that this was a questionable decision at best. It's great to design the product to meet his grandson's needs, if it is intended only for his grandson. However, if he wants it to be likely to help other autistic children, he really ought to be speaking to other domain experts in the field. There's no good reason, in my opinion, for cutting yourself off from the research.
