Version 1.0.8 is online

Several enhancements
- added several buttons with the most used function, for people who do not like to use the right mouse button menu
- You can now also set a border for the Sclera pictos, this is usefull if you have reversed the colors and still want a border around it
- added a "Send to Yahoo Group", not yet available for the english and french translation. But i'm developing a way to put the picto sheets online in a yahoo group. I will first do this for the dutch localization and then start with a english version
- When openening a .pszip file in explorer picto selector will open the file.

I changed the way email can be send from Picto Selector. Before it was depending on Microsoft Office to send email. Now a online connection is all you need.
The Dutch localization has now a nice windows with some explanation how people can send their picto sheets to the 'cookbook'. A yahoo group with the work of other users. When enough people are interested I will create such groups for other localizations.

The new version can be installed by selecting the menu item "Check for updates" in the "File" menu.

A lot of autistic children are easily distracted (also applies to ADHD ofcourse) and when you tell them to do something, you often need to tell each step over and over again. This is not because they are not smart enough (our son has a tested IQ of 115) but they depend a lot on visuals and structure.

With those visualizations we can tell him to look back were he was in his task and continue from there. After a while this becomes second nature. And without the need to tell him over and over again what he should do he will continue his task himself.

I've made a small introduction video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_hx3BUxPdM of picto selector.

(For you're information. I've had a lot of responses of parents who are very glad with this tool. At least there are a lot of children who benefit)

As an Aspie I can speak somewhat from experiance, Autistic children learn and think differently. Commonly they work much better with visual stimuli so something like this would be a huge benefit. Keep up the good work.

For those not familiar with what i'm talking about there is a book called "Thinking in Pictures" by Dr. Temple Grandin that can be a great window into the autistic mind.

This is great and I admire your cause! Keep it up!

Version 1.2.3 is now online.

- Clock Picto. A new picto type that represents a clock. Add a clock picto, set the time and change it's appearance and ready.

- double click on a picto in the picto list will add that picto on the top picto sheet (if one of them is opened)

ADHD was often a misdiagnosis.  Autism is probably caused by something specific that we don't quite know yet afaik.

It looks like something is increasing the chance on Autism, but there is also a genetic part involved. And the definition of autism is wider these days.

After some updates there are now 16000 symbols included...

Wow, this is fantastic.  This is perfect for people with Autism, from what I remember from my schooling, it fits with exactly how they process information.  Good job.
