Recently, we were lucky enough to have some wonderful news articles released discussing our game Life (Re)Sounding. One of my favourites recently was this article published by The Canberra Times by Katelyn Catanzariti.
The article really captures some of the ways in which the game has been designed to communicate aspects of neurodiversity whilst acknowledging that every neurodivergent person is unique. I particularly loved this quote in the article from Sarah Langston, president of the Australian Neurodivergent Parents Association:
“I think anything that supports the development of empathy and real connection with the neurodivergent experience is useful, because I think what we often see is a lack of people ‘getting it’. It takes it away from the abstract and into the personal.” – Sarah Langston
