You're not just joining a program: you're making friends, team mates and building a support system that's got your back.
Gaming is fun - we all know that! But at Ignition, it's not just about the game; it's about leveling up in every aspect of your life.
Here you're not defined by your challenges but celebrated for your strengths. Our approach ensures you get the individual support you need.
At Ignition Gamers, we get it – trying something new can be daunting and nerve-wracking. But trust us, the journey you’re about to take is worth every press of the button.
Every member of the Ignition team have been hand-picked not only for their experience in the industry but also the invaluable perspective of their own lived experiences. We’ve walked similar paths, faced similar challenges, and at each step we’ve grown stronger.
You see, while our love for gaming is what unites us, it’s the friendships, adventures and valuable support that keeps our participants coming back week after week, and year after year.
Will you join us?
At Ignition Gamers, we don’t claim to be the perfect fit for everyone, but what we can tell you is that we’re a diverse and inclusive community. Our participants come from various backgrounds and abilities. Our programs are specifically tailored for young autistic individuals with low-support needs aged 14-35 years, and are crafted to provide a supportive and engaging environment. We understand the unique strengths and challenges that each individual brings, and our goal is to celebrate diversity while offering a space where everyone can feel at home and thrive.
Absolutely! Our programs are designed for all abilities. Whether you’re new to gaming or a hard-core esports gamer, our programs cater to all skill levels. It’s not about being the best but about enjoying the experience.
We hear you; meeting new people can be intimidating. But here’s the thing about Ignition – our community is built on a love of gaming. You already have something in common with everyone here! You’re not alone but among friends who get your passion and can relate to your experiences.
That’s ok! Every participant at Ignition was new once as well, so they know how daunting it is to step outside your comfort zone. We’re an inclusive and supportive group who will help you move at your pace. In our program, you’re encouraged to try new things but never forced.
Name: Lachlan
Age: 17
Before joining Ignition Gamers, Lachlan had never had a ‘friend’. There was no one who really understood his journey as an autistic person and he’d never met anyone who loved gaming as much as he did! His parents were worried so they went in search of something fun for him to do. An activity that would improve his social skills and help him find the confidence to make friends.
That’s where Ignition Gamers stepped in!
We remember asking Lachlan during his free trial session how long he’d been gaming for – “FOREVER” is what he said! We knew he’d love Ignition right there and then.
At first Lachlan came back to us each week just for the gaming. But then, as the weeks went on we saw a transformation in him. He had gradually gained confidence, and was happy that he’d found several people who shared his interests. Lachlan forged great friendships that have continued into his daily life, and he’s been with us for over 12 months!
At Ignition Gamers you get to dive into face-to-face gaming sessions, where every button press is a shared moment with other participants.
