Game Idea to Help those with High Functioning Autism

      Each day we imply hundreds of emotions with our word choice, tone, body language, and facial expressions. Those physical aspects of our bodies combine in various degrees of happiness, surprise,sadness, fear, disgust, and anger to describe a person’s emotional state so that we know how to respond. Reading so many variations of emotions can be difficult, but with this mobile game anyone,especially those with mid to high functioning autism, can learn to read emotions so they can respond accordingly.

      There will be six modes in the game: Facial Expressions, Word Choice, Tone, Body Language,Combination, and Creation. In Facial Expression and Body Language mode the player will be presented with an image and must select the correct emotion(s) being shown. In Tone mode the player hears various voices to guess the emotion(s), while Word Choice mode will test the player’s knowledge of written connotations and idioms. Combination Mode will mesh the previous modes together and Creation mode will allow the player to input pictures and recordings to test real world emotions.Players will be timed in all the modes except Creation, receive points based on quickness, and can share their creations and scores on a leader board.
