Autism is known as a disorder of psychological development, as it is classified as F84.0 according to ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) (Fernandes, 2010). Studies indicate that autism presents three major groups of disorders: the social, communicative and behavioral. The social development of these children is usually disturbed, especially in interpersonal development, because children tend to isolation or to behave improperly. The level of communication, it is estimated that about 50% of these children do not develop the language throughout his life, and the other 50% may deviate language semantic and pragmatic. Moreover, persons with autism typically exhibit repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, but also complex body movements (Gadia, Tuchman, & Rotta, 2004) (FPA 2003). In this sense this thesis of Master in Computer Engineering was proposed by the Whale Museum and has as main objective to develop an application of one of the activities in the educational area of the museum, but with the particularity of being targeted for autistic children.
