It looks like that money is very important for the big autism sites. Bringing my freeware into attention is failing and i have the feeling (no hard evidence) that it is because those sites are sponsored by the major players with their commercial tools.

The bottomline is that the parents pay for it. They are not informed about the possibilities if those options are not commercially interesting.

I wonder if more people have seen this?

(It is no problem to get attention in the non-english speaking parts of the world. But some companies seems to have a lot of influence in the english part)

That looks so cool, I have no need for it, but I going to have fun with it. I'm installing it on an arch linux using wine. First wine compained it needed to download a gecko package which I did, then the installer came up no problems, the installer ran fine then the program launched and downloaded missing pictures, and everything looked like it was working. Good job.
I just posted a link to it on my facebook page. I can see where it would be real handy for parent of kids on the spectrum.

Thanks for the feedback budgenator!

Well if they really prefer sponsors above helping their parents then it means that it will take more time before it is common knowledge. I get great feedback from a lot of countries. Some countries will take some more time :-)
