The Journey of Elisa is a videogame that can help you understand better the traits and necessities of people with autism and, in particular, with Asperger Syndrome. As a player, you will go through various minigames, experience an epic sci-fi background story and overcome the challenges that Elisa must face.
The game comes with learning units which may serve as support for teachers who want to do activities in class, as well as general information to understand Asperger's better.
The Asperger's Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects men and women from all cultures and socio-economic status. Asperger's is considered to be part of the Autism spectrum disorders. People with Asperger's have difficulty in comprehending and managing social and communicative situations. They have difficulty in interacting with others and reading between the lines. They normally follow rigid behavioural or thinking patterns. People with Asperger's do not have intellectual disabilities, however they do have a lot of issues regarding autonomy.
