How does the world see a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Do not worry. It is not that the photo that heads this post looks bad for a problem, but that it is a possible answer to the question of how the world sees a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

How can we reach this conclusion? Well, through an application (similar to a video game) that seeks to recreate the way in which children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (T.E.A.) would perceive the world around them.

The name of the video game is Auti-Sim, and it is one of the creations that could be seen in the "Hacking Health Vancouver 2013". It's about people who use this application can experience a little more what it means to live with the hypersensitivity of people with this type of disorder.

As you can see from the photograd, Auti-Sim it does not consist in advancing by knocking down monsters, nor obtaining coins or different objects; Its purpose is simply to experience, in a more or less real way, how would a child live with T.E.A. a routine visit to the park.

On the other hand, one of the purposes that I like the most is that it helps us to become more aware of what it means to be within the so-called Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is always easier to understand something if one experiences it in their own flesh.

It is very difficult to know, in a hundred percent safe and concise way, how reality is perceived, but what we do know is that children with T.E.A. They have some sensory discomfort that makes it difficult for them to interact with the environment.

I think it's a good idea to create these types of applications to try to understand how the world sees a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more being able to download it for free on your web space.
