Asperger’s and Autism syndromes are disorders that affect a child’s social skills. The child becomes isolated and does not and/or know how to interact well with others.
A new trending game called “Pokemon go” seems to be helping kids on these spectrums. As can be seen in the case of Ian Thayer, who has Asperger’s syndrome; Pokemon has motivated him to go outdoors and even initiate conversations with people who share a common interest of the game. Another example is Ralphie, who has autism and hyperlexia. Pokemon has given him common interest with other kids, who he now plays and interacts with, without him looking or feeling out of place, due to his abnormal behaviors.
