Sketchup is a user-friendly 3D design software and great application for people suffering with
autism spectrum disorders (ASD). They may consider sketchup as an innovative outlet and
opportunity to communicate their ideas visually and spatially. The people with autism can imagine
in pictures and visualize a design in her head and transform the image efficiently into the paper

in the program's 3-D warehouse to incorporate into their own designs easily and smoothly.
With the application of Sketchup they get the expertise in Block Design and mentally segment the
