A HIDDEN SANCTUARY
Dear Retro Gamer, I wanted to take a moment to share my personal journey and how videogames have profoundly impacted my life, especially in light of my recent autism diagnosis.
Growing up, videogames were more than just entertainment; they were a sanctuary for me. The vibrant worlds and engaging stories provided a sense of belonging that I often struggled to find elsewhere. As I navigate the complexities of autism, I’ve discovered that these cherished games from my childhood serve as both a nostalgic escape and a powerful tool for emotional regulation.
