A New Type of Coffee Shop--Gaming Lounges, Cafes, and Arcades

What's replacing the hipster coffee shop us non-millenials could hang out at and be social--Gaming Lounges! Yes, new to many of us here at autismlife.com, gaming lounges, cafes, and arcades are where you could hang out with your autistic teenager, or better yet drop him or her off with a friend and let them meet people and start building a social life on their terms. But first, let's look at a few specifics around these venues.

1. Gaming Lounges, Cafes, Arcades.

2. Board game stores

3. Gaming groups or meet ups

We love that there's more of an option for us gamers (the type who skipped class to play DnD...) especially now that more people are getting out after Covid challenges. Check ahead of time if masks are required at stores and locations so that you're on their good side. And get out there, meet new people, and GAME ON!
