I'm Not Different! VR experience

Syin-Lu serves around 6,000 people with disabilities throughout Taiwan, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, multiple disabilities or children with developmental delays.

Children with physical disabilities are very apparent. It’s relatively easy for other people to notice what they need and thus help them. People can also understand their inconvenience and feelings through activities that simulate what people with disabilities go through..

But for children with autism, their needs are less noticeable. Every light stimulates sharply, sounds are magnified, too much information at one time make children feel oppressed. For them, learning to accustom to the community around them, every day is one challenge after another.

While children with autism learn ways to relieve their emotions, “I’m Not Different! VR Experience” lets people, through VR, experience the world that autistic patients see, learn how to live side by side, and to be more inclusive and understanding.
