Van Facebook, door #AutisticNotWeird. Tekst: Twenty years ago today, the original Pokémon games were released. Their creator was Satoshi Tajiri, an autistic man who had to take make-up classes to graduate from high school.
Because of his huge interest in video games and his drive to play his strengths, Tajiri was able to create a game series that influenced literally millions of young people, who grew up exploring the worlds he created.
Thank you, Satoshi Tajiri, for playing your strengths. Thank you for letting us into your worlds, and for being an inspiration to today's children across the autism spectrum.
