5.2.1 Inclusive Futures Raising Neurodiversity Awareness in Public Spaces

According to World Health Organisation, it is estimated that worldwide about 1 in 100 children has autism. One of the issues, that people with this disability face is stimming or self-stimulating behaviour. Stimming includes the repetitive use of an object, such as flicking a rubber band or twirling a piece of string, or repetitive activities involving the senses.

Walking out, against this issue and help people affected by autism with stimming, I have designed a game, that will provide a relief and help stimulate the repetitive behaviour. The rules of the game are very simple. The user is required to press the button, in order to gather coins, as more coins are gather the user can 'level-up' by spending the coins and upgrading the 'Clicker' in order to purchase even more coins. This method will support people with autism, and as the game is made for smartphones, the users can access it at any time and any place they wish.
