Has there been any game that has attempted to show to non-autistics what being autitist is like?

I feel like a game could show it best, more then any other medium, *you* get to be in that position.


*EDIT*: Due to popular demand, I have a pastebin link to a conversation we had on discord after I posted this: http://pastebin.com/aD686dpu

I can't act on it currently, but one day maybe I will, that, or get me on as a consultant to help you with making it if someone wants to try making it themselves.

There are a few videogames designed specifically to help people with autism (like this), but I have yet to find games try to show what autism is like. :/

Definitely agree that games would be the perfect medium to communicate it!

I specifically recorded down that conversation into a notepad file for future reference.

I can't tackle it myself currently, but one day....maybe.

What was the idea?

basically, it would be an "Autistic Simulator" No, it would not have that name.

If it did have that name, people would expect a parody of autistic stereotypes that go around the internet on occasion.

This would be the real deal.

How would you do that?

Ok, ok, I'll make the pastebin link to the conversation already!

We hashed a few ideas in a conversation on discord, i.i wanted it posted here for everyone.

Edit: orignal post edited, go read the pastebin link!
