Hi,
I was recently diagnosed with ASD and am still coming to terms with it. I have some reading materials that I'll try and look at over the Christmas period but I can't guarantee being able to focus.
I wanted to understand if anyone else finds certain computer games a welcome break from the world, and that they are soothing? Most computer games are a sensory overload for me and even when they aren't I often get a headache after 30-60 min. There are a few which are nice and calm and help me when I feel overloaded. I like a game called Skyrim - it has wonderful repetitive soothing music and an open world, so you can just walk around and explore, and interact with people only when you want. The dialogue options are nice and simple too. I sometimes also play turn-based computer versions of board games. There are some available on Steam that are fun, like Gloomhaven. Am I alone in this? Does anyone else have this as a hobby / decompressing activity?
Hope you are all doing well.
My go to relaxing game is The Crew (1). Worth a tenner when the Ultimate (complete) Edition is on sale.
Speaking of this game, if anybody has an interest in long and short drives this is the best driving game I've played for keyboard and it is on sale ATM UNDER A TENNER on Greenman Gaming. (known and trusted vendor - used for years no problems)
I recommend this game to all.

EDIT: I will add, for those gamers who do not know, that GreemanGaming has offered the best discounts since I started using them 8 years ago, Along with Steam/Valve, Humble, Ubisoft etc.
