I'm not familiar with 'adapted cameras' but it should be possible to turn off the flash on his camera, mount it on a tripod and then have him use a cable release (or self timer as to not shake the camera). If he's shooting small products, it would be very easy to dedicate an area with proper lighting. Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Table-Photo-...

Thanks. Much to learn...

I have no idea about adapted cameras but Ben likes his digital camera that has filters to alter the photo ...he also got wn older digital camera that is too outdated to use...he just carries it around and its one of his favorite toys..

Thanks for the links. The video of the photographer was very good. I can see where someone with autism would enjoy nature photography as it's usually calming. We did submit an application for ACT grant, but didn't get it this last time around. Will keep working on it. He uses the iPad in speech therapy quite a bit with story telling and sequencing studies. That kid loves his tech stuff!

You're welcome. I know a little about 'old school' photography. So feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best. My son is 4 yrs old and I've been looking at the kid style cameras with dual hand grips. He likes taking my phone to make videos of silly things like his toes wiggling or me taking a band-aid off his arm. With his speech development issues, I think he likes listening to his own voice in the videos too.
