I also saw the [The 60 Minutes article on Apps for Autism](http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7385686n) that your article referenced…I missed it when it came out a while back, but now was able to watch it on this site.

Thanks again!

Voted.

If this doesn’t work out, have your wife check out [DonorsChoose.org](http://www.donorschoose.org/) for her solicitation of sponsorship. That site seems to knock out projects like these pretty quickly.

Good luck! Hopefully I remember to vote daily!

International Dopers can vote also, right, **Yeti?** Liked it on FB and e-mailed the link to my non-FB friends! We can do this thing, **Dopers**!

I never included punctuation marks. Now I’ve done the other things you suggest - three times in a row - and still no go. To hell with it.
