    "Pikachu's World" - New Hit Game by 13 yr. old

    By CuringAutism  |  Posted July 13, 2008  |  Deerfiield, Illinois
     
    My 13 year old son just created "Pikachu's World", which can be found and played for free at www.yoyogames.com under Pikachu's World. (It does take a few minutes to load so please be patient.) He is fine tuning it, but currently there are 9 levels and 3 challenging characters to pass through that he designed. He also drew all of the artwork and wrote all the words himself. At the computer camp he attends for ages 8 -16, I was told it is the most sophisticated game ever created in a two week session there. He was born with autism, but is doing very well and has alway excelled at visually learning, including video games and art and lego design. There abilities have helped his overall growth in all areas throughout the years. His complete love for video games, that he has plays for up to a couple hours almost daily since 18 months of age, have not been detrimental, but a huge asset toward LEARING AND BUILDING COORDIATION, CONFIDENCE, ANDSOCIAL SKILLS!
