Apple highlights autism-related apps on World Autism Awareness Day

On the eighth annual World Autism Awareness Day, Apple has highlighted a small number of iOS apps designed to assist autistic individuals. These range from learning life skills to text-to-speech apps for those who have difficulty speaking.

The apps appear within an Autism Awareness Month section of iTunes, within the Education heading. iTunes also features a large number of podcasts by non-profit Autism Empowerment.
