Rhythm Gaming/ASD Correlation?

Re: Rhythm Gaming/ASD Correlation?

I didn't make this as a thread, it was split off from another thread about someone sending hate mail to the mother of an autistic child, seeing as it was basically a bunch of people who play FFR mentioning that they had various kinds of ASDs.

And as someone who myself plays FFR and has an ASD, I hardly think I was trying to make a negative connection between the two.

Well on a serious note it is a plausible inference considering FFR is repetitive as fuck, based on patterns and numbers, etc. I do occasionally enjoy it myself but uhhhhh I can't even imagine playing as often as some of y'all do which is probably why I got a 4 on that test and I didnt even study

Scored 24 on the AQ thing...seems about right cuz I've been thinking lately that I'm borderline ASD haha

My gf and I actually discussed this idea for a correlation between ASD and rhythm games a while ago and I bet it would be interesting to see stats for this .

The perfect storm for an FFR player is someone obsessed with numbers, easily consumed/fixated on one thing, heavy interest in music and perhaps a giftedness with it, and since it's predominantly forum-based in terms of networking I'm sure that that points more in favour at least statistically to a higher number of ASD individuals than other communities.

Perhaps this correlates about the same with hardcore gamers in general though?

some of these were bizarrely accurate: "I usually notice car number plates or similar strings of information.", "I often notice small sounds when others do not."

but i do fine in conversation / reading feelings

while i sometimes have an urge to blabber on about something nobody would care about, i i generally have the intelligence to know nobody would be listening
