The internet is ablaze about pokemon Go. You or your child may have played it. You may have figured out how to use it to promote socialization for your child. If you haven't and even if you have these tips will help you understand how to use pokemon go to its max to help you autistic child. Being someone on the spectrum I have inside knowledge of what to do.
1.UNDERSTAND THE GAME
When I work with someone with autism I look for their interest and how I can use that to my advantage. One example is a client who loved animals. I took him to the zoo, pet shops, and other places with animals. Take the time to learn about the game so you can help your child out the most. There are plenty of youtubers you can watch to get informed I'm watching this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/MoreAliA
2.MAKE YOUR CHILD WORK TO GET THE INFORMATION
While for you it's ok to get all the info at once, you want your children to work to socialize. There is much they have to learn. Have them ask other Go players. So little is explained that you have to ask to get the info. Some good things to ask are
How do you evolve eevee into the form you want
Where are certain pokemon (they appear in different areas) (great for breaking habits)
How does this work
3.GETTING A POKEGROUP STARTED UP
I know I struggled with friends as a child. Although liked I wasn't invited to do things with other often. Pokémon Go gives you the opportunity to make an easy get together event. Just make sure the people your child interacts with are good influences (and watch out for unfair trading when trading comes in)
In a few months they will add new pokemon, and they can keep it up for 3 years learn how to use it as it can help your child out a lot.

Pokemon Go is great for people with autism
To figure out how you can use pokemon go watch this video https://youtu.be/67GAwNbdPwI
If your child is autistic and has the ability to communicate, but is not good at socializing then Pokemon go may get your child excited to get practice to socialize.
A little explanation. Pokemon is a series that is now 20 years old where people play a game (often as a portable video game) where the goal is to catch pokemon or pocket monsters. Before Pokemon GO it was already a good way to connect people as you need to trade pokemon to collect them all, you can battke and so much more.
Now there is an app available for Smartphones with Augment reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data to play the same game. The app Pokemon Go is one of the most popular apps now. Why do I say it is good for someone with autism, the answer is so many reasons. First of all to find pokemon you have to get up and go places and not stay inside. Next is the aspect that there are so many other people playing the same game. Many gamers who have been playing the game have come across many others playing the game. This is a great way to get your child in social situations and even make friends. Just make sure your child knows who to friend.
