Modding on the Spectrum

What does the name "Modding on the Spectrum" mean?
The word modding can stand for using mods and for creating video game mods. The word spectrum initially referred to the colorful spectrum of neurodiversity only which is represented by the rainbow-colored infinity sign. Now it refers to life as well, because life is a spectrum, too:

Life is a spectrum with extremes at either end, and in the middle, there is balance. The experience of life has the potential to be whatever we make of it.

What is the goal and purpose of this forum?
Our long-term goal is bringing neurodiversity and modding, and respectively gaming, closer together.

Gathering people who share their ideas, knowledge or problems without feeling judged for their individual conditions is the main purpose of Modding on the Spectrum.


What kinds of topics are discussed?
Our everyday topics:
We talk about mods and gaming for example. Members can link to their own mods or share links to mods on other sites.

Our special topics:
Neurodiversity and mental health.
