Book -- "What I Want to Talk About: How Autistic Special Interests Shape a Life" by Pete Wharmby

[Yomo Kimyata]

I've been reading this book recently, and it is a fascinating and entertaining read written by a Brit who was diagnosed with autism/autistic tendencies as an adult.  The author has a bit of a Douglas Adams style to him, so the reading is easy and fun in a British manner.

 

Clearly, this is not a video game, but two of the  eight chapters (one is about a bunch of games, and one is primarily about Minecraft) are all about video games and his experiences and observations.  Chapter Three:  Set Difficulty to Hard I found especially interesting, as it discussed a lot of aspects of games that we've read about here on these forums from a specific perspective of neurodivergence.

 

I found this interesting, and not just because it spoke to some of my own atypicalities.  Perhaps some of you may find it so as well.

 

Happy hunting!
