Does your young autistic person love playing video games?

We've got a great place for them.

We use the passion they and other young autistic people like them have for playing video and table-top games to transform their lives.

You shouldn't have to keep explaining your teen or young adult, or worry if they will have a future.

You deserve the peace of mind knowing your young person is in a safe and understanding environment that’s helping them grow to the independent person they are meant to be.

our ndis social gaming program is Uniquely designed for your autistic young person, and the mates they're about to have.

It all begins by having a mutual interest. For your young person to get the best outcome, we can meet them beforehand so they know someone there.

Meet Will

Ignition Team Accent

I’m Will Golding, and just like you, I’m a high-functioning autistic young man who loves gaming. I used to think my diagnosis meant I’d never know how to fit into society because I see life differently than others. Most people assume autism is just one thing. They don’t see that it’s a spectrum, so “high-functioning” young adults, like me, don’t experience the same types of challenges as others on the spectrum. And unfortunately, the right levels of support are not there.

Every day we’re faced with challenging and difficult scenarios. Social situations can quickly become overwhelming; high stimulus environments are generally too much, and finding (and holding down) a suitable job is tough. If I’m honest, we never feel like we’re going to fit in.

But living with autism doesn’t have to be this way. Sure there will always be challenges; but instead of thinking of it as game over, it’s game on!

And that’s where I come in. Consider me your peer or ‘mate’ who’s lived, and continues to live, a similar life. Ignition is my way of bringing together like-minded and active high-functioning autistic people who want to move forward with their lives. I pair my own life experience with my connections to help you expand your horizons through social groups, fitness, education or employment.

If there’s ever a chance to move up a level and ignite your life, IT’S NOW. Come join us here at Ignition Gamers for one-of-a-kind NDIS support services that help transform lives.

NDIS social gaming sessions Canberra for autistic teens and young adults who love social gaming

We've Experienced The Same Challenges You Have.

We know how hard it can be. You want the best for your young person; however, you are continuously battling the system and experiencing all of the highs and lows.

You want them to have friends and a future. It’s important to us that they do as well. It’s the reason we started Ignition Gamers.

What Others Are Saying

Ignition Team Accent
We are so glad we found Ignition. It is a unique idea, catering to young adults on the spectrum who are interested in gaming. Our son has enjoyed the sessions. He leaves them feeling noticeably energised. He knows he is not alone, and has been able to learn more about himself through the shared and relevant experiences of others who are like him and who are in his own age group.

We are so happy that Ignition was recommended to us and to be put in contact with such lovely and helpful people. Before my son joined Ignition, we really struggled to find the type of help and support to use the NDIS funding to achieve his goals. Now he has a weekly routine that combines a balance of job seeking and social interaction. This has greatly improved his outlook on life, his confidence, his overall well being, and, his independence.

Society is harsh on those who are autistic. This doesn't mean your young person can't have a happy, independent and fulfilling life.
