This is an interactive mobile app game that lets your child play with other people virtually. To play this game, your teenager will have to download the Draw Something app and install it on their phone. Then they will have to draw something and send it to someone on their list and the other person has to guess what your teen was trying to draw.
When or if they get it right, it is then their turn to draw something and let your kid guess what they are drawing. To make sure that your child wants to play this game or is interested in interactive mobile games, let them play with you first before they add anyone else on their list and see if they like it. This game is both fun and educational in that it will help your autistic child identify things from pictures which can be beneficial to their growth in identifying human expressions.
Computer games are great for autistic children, especially video games. Video games can teach your child motor skills, social skills, and problem solving skills — this, of course, depends on the type of video game s your child likes playing. You can introduce your teen to video games slowly, scheduling a time for video games on a given day — say, Monday at Then you are going to pick a game that you think your child can play easily and play with them for the first few times until they have adapted and are comfortable with it.
You can then introduce them to different types of games for different types of skills. It is important to note, however, that some people on the autistic spectrum are photosensitive and therefore playing video games that use a lot of flash graphics can trigger them. If this is the case with your autistic teen, then maybe keep them away from video games or choose simple games with simple graphics.

I also deleted my Facebook account, as I was spending too much time on it. I have found this to be really beneficial for my own health and wellbeing. But for most people it would be far too much to give up. Any advice will be appreciated.
This is a really tough one. As the screens and video games are so addictive. Both of my children play on tablets and if they had it their way they would be on them for hours a day. I also keep an eye on the time and let them have an hour or an hour and a half on them and they say they need a break for a while.
I never simply take the tablet away though as this would cause tantrums so I always give a warning when their time is going to be up like 5 minutes left. My eldest negotiates this time a lot such as saying can I have 12 minutes as that is when my video finishes. You can set limits on most tablets and games consoles to only allow a set amount of time and then it locks the child out until you put a password in.
I would also try to encourage hobbies away from the screen that they enjoy such as swimming, cycling, music lessons or ensuring that they play out with friends a few times a week.

My History Playing Video Games Computer games had such a profound impact on my life, that one of my first childhood memories was playing on one. Why are computer games loved by autistic people?
They are played in comfort and security of our favourite space, such as our bedroom. They alleviate boredom and give us a sense of achievement and accomplishment. Helping us to fit in, by understanding and playing the latest popular titles. They keep our minds busy. They provide a means of escapism. By going into another world. It is something we can be brilliant at and succeed in. They give us a vast amount of choices and freedom, that are not found in our limited and restricted lives.
They keep us happy and entertained for many hours a day.
