What games are good for autism?

Games can be excellent for autistic individuals when chosen thoughtfully. Beneficial features include: Predictable patterns and rules - games follow consistent logic. Clear objectives and feedback - goals are explicit. Optional social interaction - can play alone without social pressure. Sensory controls - adjustable audio/visual intensity. Special interests - many autistic people have deep interests games can address. Game types that often work well include puzzle games with clear logic, pattern matching games, building/creation games, and games involving personal interests. Benefits include stress relief, skill building, social connection (through shared interests), and confidence development. Considerations: Some autistic individuals may hyperfocus excessively, so time limits can be helpful. Sensory sensitivity varies - look for games with customizable audio/visual settings. Each person is unique - involve the individual in game selection when possible.
