Childnet's Know IT All is a UK company that provides resources for teaching all learners how to have a safe an positive experience on the internet FOR FREE.

Know IT All has a number of resources for teaching learners with special needs/"exceptionalities" about the internet and internet safety.

The website explains some of the risks for some users, for example - individuals on the autism spectrum may take things literally and believe that if they are asked for personal information they must give it out.
