Dr Liam Cross and Dr Gray Atherton will be visiting the group to show how there is a strong link between board games and people on the spectrum.
There is a recently started a project looking at the potential benefits of board games (games like Werewolf, Coup, Dixit, Dead of Winter) to autistic individuals. They are interested in how different types of board games might be beneficial for those on the spectrum in terms of offering a safe space to build skills and friendships.
