Meet Mose.
Mose is a highly functional 8 1/2 year old kid with Asperger syndrome who plays an adventure game called IF… to help him understand and manage his emotions.
Brendan, Mose’s father, says, “Mose, like a lot of aspie kids, is smart enough to recognize that he doesn’t totally fit in with everybody else, but doesn’t have the social and emotional intelligence to know what to do about it. I feel like the IF… game has given us tools to talk about his fears, and what is going on in his head when on the surface he gets angry at school, and how underneath he might be feeling guilty or insecure – like Cinda and her baby vim in the game.”
