Researching Parts：
The main areas that need to be researched for the game include: what is a visual novel, what is ASD (Advanced Visual Novel Theory), how to establish the game’s art style, how to implement the game mechanics, and how to write a visual novel.

What Is ASD? How to show to the players?
The core of social communication difficulties in ASD (Autium Spectrum Disorder) is synchronicity impairment, meaning that the two parties in an interaction have difficulty establishing synchronization at the behavioral, physiological, and neurological levels.
The mechanics of a spelling game precisely simulate this predicament: players need to match the pace of the other person’s conversation under time pressure, which is the source of the difficult social experiences for those with ASD.
- Game Relevance: The time constraints and the consequences of spelling mistakes by players are manifestations of synchronicity difficulties.
Visual Processing Characteristics and Differences in Language Comprehension
Research has found that children with ASD exhibit unique patterns in visual processing and language comprehension: the ASD group shows higher scores in visual processing and comprehension abilities, in stark contrast to children with developmental language disorders.
10 This means that the social difficulties of children with ASD are not due to insufficient language ability, but rather a different way of processing information—the visual system is stronger in some aspects, but there are difficulties in integrating social signals.
