Tera Kirk talks about her disability and the kind of games that work best with her skill set. GameCritics has the story.
I have some periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), which is a fancy Greek term for "some white matter around the brain's ventricles has died." Because of the skillset I have, I've also been diagnosed with nonverbal learning disabilities (NLD). Most of the dead white matter is in my right parietal lobe, which is a mapmaker: it makes maps of where one is in external space, and internal maps of one's body parts--particularly the left ones. So people with right parietal damage can lack awareness of the left side of their bodies, as well as the left half of space. They can also have trouble with spatial orientation in a more general way.
