Abstract

Autism is a developmental disorder found in children when they are around eighteen months. These children usually suffer from communication problems, recognition problems, and social impairments and display a very repetitive behavior. We will be discussing an educative game to be played on a computer, focusing the autistic children. This game should put them in situations where they will be forced to think out of the box to move ahead. Hopefully, this game may cure them of their repetitive behavior, and improve on their communication and recognition skills. This game may also be used to measure the levels of autism in the child, and indicate the level of mental progress.
