How smartphones and apps help young people with autism.

The new technologies helping people with autism make sense of the world.

A police and crime commissioner has been to meet a garage owner who complained to 5 live that his local police were ignoring shoplifting at his stores. The message from the PCC was that shop workers need to do more to confront offenders, but shopowners disagree. Callers tell us their stories. Also today, we speak to people with autism who are benefiting from new technologies that help them make sense of the world. The investment in the scheme comes from philanthropist Dame Stephanie Shirley, whose son was autistic. She tells about her vision for future apps to enhance the lives of people with disabilities. Plus the men who are proud to say their hobbies make them the dullest blokes in Britain.
