Autism, Asperger's and Dyspraxia in Video Games.

[SandraFussy]

How do video games impact individuals with Autism, Asperger's, and Dyspraxia? Are there certain game genres or features that are particularly beneficial or challenging for these individuals? How can game developers create more inclusive experiences for neurodiverse players?

I see it’s been a while since this topic came up, but I just wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed their strategies changing over time. I used to keep everything in paper planners but recently switched to calendar apps and reminders because I was forgetting too much. Has anyone found a method that still works for them after years, or do you constantly have to change things up?

I split games into two categories:

Games that appeal to my dispraxic mind:
I find JRPG’s, turn based games, sorting, strategy, tactics, Puzzle games, point and click games. They have challenge, but the challenge isn’t motor function based so it doesn’t feel frustrating and alarming. These kinds of games do for me, what “normal” video games do for neurotypical people: provide fun, relaxation, engagement, amusement.


Games that TEST my Dispraxia:
Action games, Versus Fighter games, P v P games, platform games.
These are a direct challenge of my manual skill, eye hand coordination, reflexes, live problem solving. I play some of these games BECAUSE of the direct challenge. In the back of my mind I realise that they are just games (so the outcome doesn’t matter that much) knowing that they provide engaging motor challenges that help me “keep in practice.”
I accept that my “win rates” will always be below other players, but none the less the challenge is worth it and I set my own goals; the goal of doing well “for me.” I’m a pretty impressive Tekken playing despite having dispraxia, and that feels neat.

I spilt my time playing challenging games, with games that are stress free and played for enjoyment and downtime
