Pokemon Go 2024
Pokémon GO, a game beloved by millions around the world, has proven to be an unexpectedly powerful tool for fostering social engagement and encouraging outdoor activity. This September, Pokémon GO has introduced its exciting "Max Out" season, which offers new events and features that can be particularly engaging for autistic players.
Pokémon GO is more than just a game—it provides a structured, interactive platform that helps many individuals with autism engage in the world around them. The game encourages routine through its timed events and daily tasks, which can be especially beneficial for those who thrive on predictability and structure.

For autistic players, the game’s accessible design allows them to set their own pace, providing opportunities for both solo play and social interactions in group events like raids. This makes it an excellent tool for those looking to improve social skills in a low-pressure, gamified environment.
