Professor Colleen Macklin, a game designer and Professor in the School of Art, Media and Technology, joins us to discuss games, gaming, and neurodiversity. We explore topics such as the impact of ADHD on her life, how games can engage attentional deficits and embrace neurodiversity, and the game design collective Local No. 12. Colleen shares her journey with game design and the creation of 'Dear Reader.' We also touch on the intersection of game design, neurodiversity, and ADHD, and the relevance of games in rediscovering playfulness in everyday life.
