I have to agree, Although it's simple, the aquarium dream-house is good for a kid with autusim who has started with Sketchup. As an autisitic person myself, I think it's a great idea to let kids make things from imagination.

Whoever thinks this makes fun of autistic people, it does not. It was made to help anyone, even if you're autistic, to express yourself. Under no reason would Google try to make fun of autistic kids.

It differs from where you are on the spectrum. People with Aspergers tend to have high IQs, and autistic savants can have eidetic (photographic) memory and amazing skills at painting. Hope I cleared that up :)
I'm autistic and I like to design things and stuff alike. I play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 a lot because I get to design my own parks. I also like to express my feelings through literature because I find it hard to express them in everyday life. Just so you know. lol.
Say... If it turns out there is any truth to the recent hypothesis that a VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY can cause or worsen autism, wouldn't this product make it worse by giving children yet another reason to not get enough sunlight (which the body needs to make Vitamin D)
Maybe Google should get working on a laptop screen that is easy to read in direct sunlight, and give kids solar powered laptops.
I got a lot of sun light as a child, but got rather little of it as an adult. My behaviour and "internal workings" haven't changed because of it.
If anything, I am now more aware of myself and others than ever, but that comes with age.
I honestly don't think this hypothesis, that doesn't seem to be backed by studies (you didn't mention any, so I must assume there are none, because I don't have any way of determining what exact one you meant), has any truth to it.
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERE'S THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
Does anyone have autism and think that this is close to correct. I have seen autistic people fight with other people, rainman that wasnt as far from really as this video appears.
Please consult a psychiatrist experienced with autism, if you have serious reason to believe that you might really be "close enough to autism on the spectrum".
What people with aspergers needed was parents that paid more attention to them in the first place, instead of abandoning them in cribs with a bottle-propper and sitting them in front of a TV, while they went off about their own business chasing dual incomes to support their real estate investments and multiple SUVs
Trying to use software to solve the problem is actually just going to make it WORSE. Children need face to face people time, not emotionless machinery, to grow.
If you read about the most effective "autism therapies" - the ones that work - they basically boil down to lots and lots of involved interaction with the child.
There are many people who will characterize this as just plain "good parenting" instead of something you'd only want to give a child with clinically diagnosable problems.
Your anwser seems to imply a "no" for an answer to my question, but I am not certain.
And you have a point here: all children need "good parenting" (a vague and relative term). Unfortunately, there seem to be more children that need it, than parents that can give it. :^(
As written above, I agree partially. But then, all the "good parenting" won't make autistics non-autistic. Also, there's no need for that. The solution is way "simpler" and pain-less:
Thats definitely a start, yeah - but I'd still wager that if an autistic person gets anything beneficial out of a software package like this, its not the use of the actual software, but rather the positive recognition / reinforcement generated by the mostly positive reactions of other people interacting with the autistic person.
Outside of a reinforcing environment, long-term use of software can create social distance instead of social interaction.
zaphraud, you have no idea what you're talking about. People with Asperger's need to learn to recognize social cues most people take for granted, and even then don't always get it right. Involved parents and speech & occupational therapy since pre-K didn't make middle or high school any easier.
Well, that's an interesting thought. I'll tell you this much, there's no way in hell this software is going to help a human being learn how to recognize social cues / body language, and by creating a diversion that could potentially use several hours of time a day, its just another reason for a child to NOT be involved directly with other children or adults.
Yet it may help one develop their talents and become an "independent" person with a "normal" job, not a "special" challenged people work <- many autistics can do more than that.
That's the main point they try to bring along, I guess: "Your kids might be able to do fantastic things, so why not try to make it into a profession, giving them a chance and a future?"
That I think, is a noble goal.
On the other hand, I don't think it's meant to be a substitute for any love / help / therapy.
Shouldn't autistic children (this isn't true only for autistics, but I try to stay on topic here) be given instrument to learn and play, just because it creates a distraction (everybody knows autistics can get very involved with whatever interests them) and prevents them from learning social skills that some of them aren't interested in anyway?
Why not try to become a good musician, a professional?
Let's express this in another way, which btw. is true for any child: Take any existing talent and / or special interest (and wait for the child to be "old enough", don't overdo it!) and support it the best (which is not equal to "the most") you can as a parent. Get involved with our children.
yes, this is a very useful comment indeed. if people with autism start showing interest in whatever thing, it's easy for them to specialise in that thing. but combining this with other "features" of autism like being able to remember visual things easily, this could work ideally for them.

The spectrum is very broad. Bill Gates has Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism) as do I. (not that proud though, I'd rather have Larry Page be Asperger but hey)
You'd be surprised how many people have been diagnosed with some form of autism in the western world. It's a really high percentage, and those are just the ones that got diagnosed, like me.
...kids with autism are gifted and cursed with it. A friend of mine has a high functioning version of autism that makes him very smart, but only in book skills and creativity, not socially. He is constantly made fun of at school. See what I mean?
mhmm i bet no one noticed that in googles user agreement you agree to being 18 or over to use this software, yet i am doubtful that the kids featured in this video are actually so. ha.
I don't see any kind of prejudice here. Please re-watch the video carefully and take a little time to reconsider some values. Your comment sounds like a complex. Pretty understandable, but we don't really want to discredit a project which seems to be very helpful to the autistic, do we?
For those who criticize the "hidden" marketing of Sketch Up program by Google, well it is obvious that it IS a type of marketing. However, they are not only marketing their products but also trying to make a difference for the betterment of these kids. If you have to market anyway, why not do it in a meaningful way like this one? Moreover, is marketing bad? How so?
Thank you so much for this video! I have autism and I've been drawing since middle school and I've been wanting to make a 3D video game (I prefure 2D video game because I do make pixels/sprites). I've been modding my characters on Sims 2 (sometimes) but I have a technology teacher (I don't have her yet) shows me a program a lot similar to this. I think it's called Alice that you can make an animation in 3D. I've been wanting to make cartoons/video games/comics, but this is actually amazing! =D
Great video presentation Google! Thank you for sharing this. Although my one 5 year old twin son dx'd with Autism at age 4 years old is not ready for Google Sketchup yet, I do believe one day (and soon) he would be totally into this program. He does enjoy being on the computer and has an eye for things the average "Joe" may not see. As a mother of a child with ASD, I can definitely see how Google Sketchup is a hit with those on the spectrum.
higher functioning autistics would love this, but many normal people also love it since it makes it easier. It's easier to use this than try to draw a 3d model on paper. Or even a 2d one. This you can play with for hours.
This is cool. As a graphics artist myself, I think it's neat that these kids with mental disadvantages can create 3D models. I know SketchUp is a pretty user-friendly program, but when you've met several autistic kids before who struggle so much it really seems like an amazing feat that these kids are pulling off. (I know there are different levels of autism as well, so sorry to anyone if it seems like I think they're dumb)
you don't have to be autistic to be able to make 3d enviroments, or to do it easier than drawing, im not autistic and id much rather make a 3d enviroment than try to draw it
I agree fully. Most people are intimidated when they see a design program, but they aren't that hard to use, and the graphical visual makes it easy to visualize, because you don't have to. It's actually harder to draw a 2d floor plan for some people then use a program to create a 3d one. If they had to draw a 3d house on paper, that would be even more difficult for them. But the program is great because it helps ALL people to more quickly see what is happening in 3d... well projected 3d.
This is great. My oldest son (age 17) is a high functioning Autistic. He loves to draw, but struggles with detail, and often erases so much he puts holes in his paper. I will have him check this out. Great!
People sometimes say things they don't really mean. Especially young people can say stupid things things just to elicit an emotional response from an adult.
In other words, either don't use the Internet, or accept that some people on the Internet are asshats :)

Ahh, the HIDDEN MESSAGE of this video:
Google's new CADCAM software is SO EASY TO USE, even a retard can do it - so download now and give it a try!
A+ for such a subtle and apparently kind marketing campaign, way way classier than AOL's having an ape log onto the internet.

Thank you so much for this video! I have autism and I've been drawing since middle school and I've been wanting to make a 3D video game (I prefure 2D video game because I do make pixels/sprites). I've been modding my characters on Sims 2 (sometimes) but I have a technology teacher (I don't have her yet) shows me a program a lot similar to this. I think it's called Alice that you can make an animation in 3D. I've been wanting to make cartoons/video games/comics, but this is actually amazing! =D

Great video presentation Google! Thank you for sharing this. Although my one 5 year old twin son dx'd with Autism at age 4 years old is not ready for Google Sketchup yet, I do believe one day (and soon) he would be totally into this program. He does enjoy being on the computer and has an eye for things the average "Joe" may not see. As a mother of a child with ASD, I can definitely see how Google Sketchup is a hit with those on the spectrum.

I feel bad for these people, not able to live normally.
I think Google is amazing for creating this program, and the people creating these buildings in this program can do way better than me.
I can't even make a shed.

higher functioning autistics would love this, but many normal people also love it since it makes it easier. It's easier to use this than try to draw a 3d model on paper. Or even a 2d one. This you can play with for hours.

you should look at wings3D, it has a Little more of a learning curve than this, but nothing like blender or any other complicated rendering engine.

This is cool. As a graphics artist myself, I think it's neat that these kids with mental disadvantages can create 3D models. I know SketchUp is a pretty user-friendly program, but when you've met several autistic kids before who struggle so much it really seems like an amazing feat that these kids are pulling off. (I know there are different levels of autism as well, so sorry to anyone if it seems like I think they're dumb)

you don't have to be autistic to be able to make 3d enviroments, or to do it easier than drawing, im not autistic and id much rather make a 3d enviroment than try to draw it
quadstrike 2 years ago
I agree fully. Most people are intimidated when they see a design program, but they aren't that hard to use, and the graphical visual makes it easy to visualize, because you don't have to. It's actually harder to draw a 2d floor plan for some people then use a program to create a 3d one. If they had to draw a 3d house on paper, that would be even more difficult for them. But the program is great because it helps ALL people to more quickly see what is happening in 3d... well projected 3d.

This is great. My oldest son (age 17) is a high functioning Autistic. He loves to draw, but struggles with detail, and often erases so much he puts holes in his paper. I will have him check this out. Great!

People sometimes say things they don't really mean. Especially young people can say stupid things things just to elicit an emotional response from an adult.
In other words, either don't use the Internet, or accept that some people on the Internet are asshats :)
