The book addresses issues of assistive technology in education, vocational training, and social inclusion for individuals with characteristics on the autism spectrum.

Technology has always been a support for individuals with some form of physical disability. However, the explosive rise of the digital revolution, which enabled the creation of virtual worlds and challenged stereotypical concepts, seems to now provide the opportunity to support individuals who perceive their reality differently and, as a result, deviate from what is widely regarded as normality.

The most representative group in this category is individuals on the autism spectrum, along with their parents and special educators. The book's stance is that through digital technology, there is the possibility of finding common ground for communication, education, and inclusion for this group, as well as raising awareness and familiarity with this promising research line for all those who, in various capacities, are involved with the issue of autism spectrum disorders.

This includes parents, educators, psychologists, speech therapists, doctors, and information systems designers.
