Abstract/Description
This study aims to investigate the correlation between neurodivergent individuals perceived quality of life and video game usage. In order to explore this connection a survey will be used through Sona with around 30 suspected participants answering questions via a self report. These questions will inquire questions about these individuals motivations for online gaming, their perceived satisfaction with life and an open ended question regarding the amount of time spent playing video games per week. It is hypothesized that those who spend more time playing video games will have a more positive perception of their quality of life than those who spend less time playing video games.
