Frequently Asked Questions


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.
