While it would be fine to consult those groups as well, they should first and foremost listen to actual disabled people. By 'consulting actual people', I mean actual people - not our parents, siblings, or organizations that represent us without us. The Sims 4 team should consult actual people with disabilities in implementing any new features or mechanics for people with disabilities, and should be careful to present disability in a fully respectful light.If cognitive disabilities and mental health disabilities were implemented in the game, here's how I think they might best be handled: I have some thoughts about how physical and sensory disabilities would work as well, but it's really not my expertise, so I'll be focusing on cognitive and mental health disabilities. On my college university, I've worked in an Access and Inclusion group to make the campus more accessible, and I run a disability org for students.
I've lived with a range of people with disabilities, including cognitive disabilities, mental health disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental health disabilities. I am a disability justice activist and have worked with several disability rights organizations.
My experience here: I am cognitively disabled myself (I am autistic), and I have multiple mental health disabilities.
I'd like to give my feedback about how I'd like cognitive disabilities and mental health disabilities to look in the game. Not all of us are interested in giving our Sims-selves disabilities, but I know a large number of us are. There are wide range of kids - and adults - with disabilities who enjoy playing The Sims 4, including myself.
I think this is a great step forward in inclusion. Recently, the Gurus have come and told Simmers that they have been thinking about adding disabilities into The Sims 4.
