SUMMARY:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects
communication, social interaction, and behavior. Individuals with ASD often present
deficits in Executive Functions such as working memory, divided attention, inhibitory
control, and cognitive flexibility, which directly impact their autonomy and ability to
adapt to everyday demands. In this context, various tools have been developed with
the aim of improving the quality of life of these individuals and supporting the work of
therapists and educators. To support the project, a literature review was conducted
on the use of serious games in interventions with individuals with ASD, with the goal
of identifying gaps and the main technologies employed. Four research questions
were developed, with a primary focus on the development process of these games.
The review included searches in the IEEE Digital Library, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and
ACM Digital Library databases, followed by the selection of relevant studies based on
inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results revealed a scarcity of studies specifically
targeting young adults with ASD, highlighting a relevant opportunity for
advancements in the field. Therefore, this study proposes the development of a suite
of serious games on the Construct3 game engine, aimed at stimulating these
cognitive skills in young adults alongside therapeutic and educational practices.
