As some of you know, I work as an advocate and mentor for people on the autism spectrum.
Just today, the organizers of an upcoming conference have asked me to give a talk on how gaming as a medium and a hobby relates to people on the spectrum. Mostly I'll be talking about how gaming has been a very helpful tool for me in terms of relieving stress and providing a safe environment to escape to, and since a lot of the audience will be people aged 40-60, I want to try to break down some antiquated stereotypes about gaming, like it causing anti-social behaviour or dumbing kids down.
I was wondering if there is anyone else here on the spectrum who would like to shares their views or experiences in regards to gaming?
