A quote from BetaJester’s creative producer and studio admin Becky, which reads: “For me, being autistic is a source of joy when it comes to engaging with my special interests. I'm grateful for the fact that my brain's wiring allows me to spend thousands of hours deep-diving into the same subjects without getting bored! It's also a great way to meet new friends. I find social situations quite challenging, but when there's already the foundation of a shared interest, it's much easier to build a connection!”

Our final quote for the week is from our creative producer, Becky! 📝

Psychology Today defines special interests as “strengths and opportunities for connection” and “pathways to well-being, finding meaning and purpose, and relationships” for autistic people.

A quote from an anonymous BetaJester team member, which reads: “Not the healthiest trait, but getting those sprints of hyperfocus to hit deadlines, flesh out game jam ideas, and hit last minute delivery goals for clients has been very valuable, especially in the early years of BetaJester (as well as when I was working towards my degree.)”

Today we’re sharing a quote from one of our team members about hyperfocus! 🔬

WebMD defines hyperfocus as “highly focused attention that lasts a long time” and is a common neurodivergent experience, particularly with ADHD and autism.

A quote from BetaJester’s co-founder and technical lead Adam, which reads: “My ADHD often allows me to lock into certain projects and create novel solutions to complex problems, but it also allows me to jump between different projects easily and get back to into programming rapidly (which is useful because I get distracted often too!)”

We’re kicking off #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek with a quote from our co-founder and technical lead, @chaosandcode.bsky.social! 💻

Adam is also the founder of @adhdingames.bsky.social - the first community in the UK games industry dedicated to supporting people with ADHD.
