I just stumbled upon something pretty cool. It's a brain-training website called Lumocity. I know a lot of people on the spectrum have challenges with short term memory and things like that, and this website has all kinds of games you can play to improve your processing speed and other things like that. I just got finished playing one where you are in the role of waiter/waitress, and you earn tips by remembering people's names and getting their orders right. It seemed like something that might be useful for people on the spectrum.

The only downside is that, from the sounds of it, if you want to go beyond the "basic training" you have to pay for it. Still, there seems to be a whole lot to do for free, and God knows my brain needs improvement!
