Show notes

The reason i jump movie which will be released in 2021 from the book by the same name. This is the first look! As an Autistc man This is very exciting to see a book of this calibre turn into a movie about. From the get go this looks more like a documentary type of film which displays the story of the young man who has written the book the reason I jump but also shows different stories from other people who are on the spectrum and their struggles and issues. There is heavy focus on parents and what parents are trying to do in the struggle to help their children in their lives with autism.

How Autism And Gaming Can Help People On The Spectrum Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

This is how games can help children with autism communicate and learn social skills. There is approximately 2 percent of the worlds population that are on the autism spectrum. This impacts the persons social and communication aspects of their life and can cause major difficulties. But the answers to helping these issues may lay in video games. The seminal child psychologist Piaget (1955), suggests that play behaviours allow for a child to engage with emerging cognitive skills. Pretend play, for instance, will enable children to learn concepts such as false belief, and more structured turn-taking board games teach reciprocity and strategy. Also, when a person is playing with another player in a competitive or cooperative game, the experience allows them to practice and develop a range of skills including communication, perspective-taking, emotional regulation, emotional recognition, and sportsmanship. Also, they are engaging in shared attention and joint action with other social agents, as all players are focused on the same activity and must mutually contribute to the completion of the game. A study suggests that, learning and playing games are a cornerstone in child development, allowing children to form independent relationships with one another.
