Using AI and Google Glass to Tackle Autism - DZone IoT

The Economist recently wrote a moving paean to the fate of autistic people in the western world. It revealed that one in 68 people in America are believed to be autistic, but western society appears to be doing a terrible job on actually helping the autistic among us contribute and feel valued. Although around half of those with autism are of average intelligence or above, they do far worse than they should at school and at work. In France, almost 90% of autistic children attend primary school, but only 1% make it to high school. Figures from America, which works harder to include autistic pupils, suggest that less than half graduate from high school.
