Does Apple offer a education discount for children with autism?

A characteristic like autism does not entitle someone to any discount. Apple offers a discount on some items (mostly Macs) for people of all ages in education. However, there is no discount on iPads.

Not for an iPad. As Tom and Simon have said, there is no educational discount for the iPad for individual purchasers.

Apple education pricing is a great way for college students, parents buying for a college student, faculty, homeschool teachers, and staff at all grade levels to purchase Mac computers, Apple software, and select accessories at special prices. Students who have been accepted to college are also eligible. Just shop at the Apple Store for Education and start saving.

There's no discount for individuals. Only a small discount for bulk purchases for schools.

The question is about the educational discount. It is available for qualifying individuals.
