Achievement unlocked: the role of video games in the neurodivergent life
Experiencing life can be a complicated affair for neurodivergent people. Social environments may be too exhausting, sensory overload too intense, communication and other means of interaction with people too taxing. Thus, many of us escape into the confines of our solitary special interests and activies through which we learn about the world around us. One of such activities is gaming. In my speech, being a neurodivergent gamer myself, I want to discuss various ways in which video games may influence and even enrich the life of a neurodivergent person, teach them a variety of necessary everyday skills, and even serve as a sort of therapy for them.
