I'm alright with firefox and currently have no kids, but that is a really awesome thing he did!

And personally, any autie kid who has any want to use a comp ought to be able to work with something made simple like that.

A really awesome idea though would be to let parents customise it to their kid. Then you truely could build a software for every kid on the spectrum.
