Autism & Gaming

Post Reply New Topic

I do not like video games in general and the reason is because they are way too over-stimulating for me. What ends up happening is that I will sit down for hours and hours and play until I become very irritable. Every now and then I will play, but it usually amounts to me not being happy. It took me a very long time to realize this, and I enjoy my life a lot more now that I have accepted it.

Well, I've played some games in my lifetime though, I've never been an expert at any of them. In fact, I tend to not do well with certain games due to my tactile issues i.e keyboard typing etc. Still, I do enjoy some games cause of the uniqueness of them.

Please would you have a look at my 13 yo sons YouTube channel. He was diagnosed with HFA 2 years ago, and is not currently at school as he can't cope with it and spends most of his life in his room.....

He does not speak very much, except for when he is recording his chat for his gaming. He once did 5 hours of non stop chat, when he got to Level 53 on Call Of Duty.....I think its the most he has ever spoken in one time, but we could not upload it. But it's not real chat, even though its to an Audience, it's not live, so I think that's how he deals with the Communication thing...he won't even text chat or voice chat in online Games, but he does join team games, revives others when need be, but is pretty much a lone wolf.

His last video post was a bit Glum,......'The End?' he is getting a bit disillusioned with not may followers, so If you can help, please do by Liking his Videos...His Tekkit/Minecraft ones are quite good to Listen to, the Tom and Jerry/Sega retro is funny.

But he is a lovely, kind, and pretty articulate HFA 13yo boy. We only get to see him chatter away when we watch his Videos, normally he says very little.



Please have a look, subscribe, and like, it might make him feel better

Many thanks
