“video games linked to adhd” gee i wonder why ppl with adhd would be drawn to an interactive medium that fully engages your brain and gives your hands something to do at the same time. it is a mystery

I just happen to be doing extended research on this topic and yes, video games are linked to ADHD…in that they are being considered useful teaching and therapeutic tools for people with ADD, ADHD, and ASD because they’re “intrinsically motivating” and help with “social skills, fine motor skills, language skills, reading and writing, and critical thinking”! In fact, they’re theorizing that video games help make these people more social with their peers, not less. (x) Pretty neat!
