As Autism Awareness month comes to an end, we would like to celebrate and better understand the incredible contributions of our neurodivergent players, especially those on the autism spectrum. In our previous blog post, Autism in the Gaming Industry, Julianna Valle shared her story and personal experiences as an autistic professional in gaming. Now, we’re expanding the conversation to include the wider community, shining a spotlight on the voices and stories of autistic players themselves.
To better understand the experiences of autistic players, we reached out to members of our player community who generously shared their stories. Through their voices, we hope to shed light on both the joys and challenges of experiencing online games like Wizard101 and Pirate101 as an autistic gamer, and to celebrate the ways gaming can offer connection, creativity, and comfort.
We’re spotlighting the stories of two players, Clarice Sapphire and Uga Buga / Tomb, as they share their experiences navigating Wizard101 and Pirate101 as autistic gamers.
What first drew you to Wizard101 or Pirate101?
Clarice:
I was a kid during the years of the regular airings of Wizard101/Pirate101 advertisements. As a fan of bright, shiny aesthetics, and a frequent member of similar MMORPGs of the time, it just came natural to me to sign up.
Uga:
My older brother– whom used to be my entire world as a kid. I watched Pirate101 release and joined it immediately due to already enjoying Wizard101. The games make me feel relaxed as they’re fairly easy to turn on and turn my brain off.
Favorite World or Storyline?
Clarice:
Polaris is my favorite world by far. While I love the cast of characters, and the storyline, it’s the atmosphere that really grabs me. I find myself regularly just watching the reflective effect on the ice, listening to the soundtrack, and just deeply admiring everything that world has to offer, wanting to plunge deeper into it.
Uga:
Honestly, almost all of Pirate101. Due to its somewhat darker themes and representation of some of history’s more darker elements, I was very interested in learning and connecting the dots. Pirate101 Marleybone made me appreciate the UK’s role in WW2 as well as study the history of Indian Revolutionary movements, for example!
What’s your playstyle?
Clarice:
Decorating and collecting pets is my favorite! When I discovered the “advanced move” option, I found the decoration opportunities to be much more inclusive of my aesthetic desires! Now I spend hours making the perfect sanctuaries for my pets with toys, delicious treats, and comforting bedding galore!
Uga:
Questing and decorating. Occasionally, I enjoy doing raids with close friends. I enjoy helping my friends who play less than me.
Solo or team play?
Clarice:
I usually play with my sibling, because I tend to take the game very slowly and patiently, and I’m very intimidated by working with strangers who have strong opinions and entitlements in how a team should serve them.
Uga:
Personally, I enjoy soloing unless I’m with one trusted friend at a time. No more than 2 players at a time when I’m questing for some reason. I don’t know why…
How do visuals, music, and design affect your sensory experience?
Clarice:
I love the chills I get from the soundtracks and reflective techniques used in the icy worlds. It feels like being transported to a frigid fantasy realm that I can’t help but savor. These sensory experiences also relate to why I’m playing ice, it just feels good. I love the sounds, and looks of the spells, and the storyline is so soothing. Even though Greyrose has a very distinguishable voice, I find it very mellow and comforting. While not technically in-game, as an also tactile sensory-seeking autistic, the plushies are lots of fun! I’d love to have one with more soft, luxurious textures in the future. (Like faux wool or more use of faux fur.)
Uga:
Nelson Everhart’s music has been engraved into my brain since the day I stepped foot into the Spiral. Honestly, bless that man. Besides that, honestly there’s a few NPC dialogues that have become long lasting vocal stims for me.
How does being autistic shape your approach to gaming?
Clarice:
Understanding one’s limits and preferences for a digital space is important for everyone. However, as an autistic person, I find myself hyper-aware of what is both pleasing and not pleasing. This means I’m much more apt to choose a game with agreeable sensory stimulation, and relaxed, low-stakes gameplay that doesn’t contribute to personal stress, but instead works to alleviate it. With an adventure MMO like Wizard101, the weight of the gameplay can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, or anxiety-inducing. When I face battles that tend to make me excessively nervous, I find it very important to tell myself when it is time for a break and face the challenge another time with a fresh and clear head.
Uga:
I’m very fidgety and impatient, so I don’t really enjoy slow meticulous play styles in any game. Sorry, that means you, Ice…
What do you wish more players knew about autistic gamers?
Clarice:
Autism is such a diverse, and fluctuating diagnosis. Two autistic people, including in gaming spaces, are not going to look or act the same. While it’s easy to fall into stereotypical expectations of what an autistic gamer may look like, keep yourself open-minded, because you may find a close, true friend. Just like any neurotypical person, personalities and needs vary, so you may get along better with some, and less with others. We’re just people, and we deserve a chance, because we’d do the same for you.
Uga:
We’re more “normal” than you think. Autism is a very varied spectrum, with different levels and extremes. There are so many more of us than you may initially realize due to internalized bigotry that you may not even be aware of. To make a long answer short; We’re not too different from you. We just approach things differently!
Any advice for other autistic players starting out?
Clarice:
Savor the world. While it is easy to be compelled to finish quickly, and as efficiently as possible, there is so much world building, music, and characters that is worth stopping and enjoying. The worlds can go by so fast, and you’ll leave your favorite areas before you feel ready, so you may as well feel just a bit more ready by allowing yourself the space to explore, and just take it all in.
Uga:
Don’t obsess over your class. Don’t restart a thousand times over it. A lot of us suffer indecision- but I can assure you that in both games, every class has their place. So long as you’re having fun with it and/or like the aesthetic– stick with it! Keep playing, keep leveling that character up. You can always make new ones later to experiment.
Building a Kinder Spiral Together
For many autistic players, Wizard101 and Pirate101 provide a sense of calm, consistency, and structure. These games are built to be welcoming environments where everyone can embark on epic adventures at their own pace. The Spiral becomes a better, brighter place when all players feel seen, valued, and included. It is important to remember to practice patience and be kind in combat. By practicing patience and understanding that others may communicate or play differently, you help create a safer, more inclusive Spiral for everyone. Just like a strong team adjusts its strategy for each challenge, we can adjust our approach to others to ensure everyone feels comfortable.
As Autism Awareness Month comes to an end, we’re reminded that inclusivity is more than just a goal, it’s an ongoing commitment. Through the stories of Clarice and Uga, we see how games like Wizard101 and Pirate101 can be more than entertainment. They can be lifelines, safe spaces, and sources of inspiration.
Thank you to the incredible players who shared their stories. Autism brings unique strengths, perspectives, and creativity to the way people experience and enjoy games, and we’re so grateful to have those voices in the Spiral. Whether you’re questing solo, decorating your perfect space, or simply finding joy in the worlds you explore, there’s a place for you here.

As we approach the end of April, which is recognized as Autism Awareness Month, we want to take a moment to celebrate and amplify the voices of our autistic team members who have generously shared their personal journeys. Through their stories, we hope to deepen awareness of both the challenges and the strengths that come with being autistic while working in the gaming industry and celebrate the incredible value that neurodiversity brings to our creative teams. Stay tuned tomorrow for a follow-up post on navigating autism from player perspectives!
Autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. But it also comes with incredible strengths like attention to detail, deep focus, strong memory, and more. No two people on the Autism spectrum are the same.
In this special Autism Awareness Month feature, we’re thrilled to highlight Julianna Valle, an Associate Marketing Producer at KingsIsle Entertainment, and a lifelong Wizard101 player with a deep, personal connection to the game. She shares her journey from devoted player to game industry professional, and how her autism has shaped both her career and her relationship with gaming.
What is your role at KingsIsle, and what do you enjoy most about it?
I am an Associate Marketing Producer at KingsIsle Entertainment, which means I help manage timelines, support our marketing promotions, and act as a liaison between Marketing and other departments. What I enjoy the most, honestly, is the people. My coworkers are so supportive, fun, and passionate about what they do, and it really makes the workplace feel welcoming. I can confirm that Emma is a literal queen. I also really love Cake Day and any kind of food-related celebrations we have. It’s such a small thing, but those moments bring everyone together and make the office feel like a community.
What inspired you to apply for a job at KingsIsle?
What first drew me to apply for a job at KingsIsle was my lifelong connection to Wizard101. It wasn’t just a game I played as a kid; it was my special interest growing up as someone on the autism spectrum. I spent years playing PvP in the Wizard101 arena, drawing my character Julia SparkleFountain, creating stories around my character, and finding a safe space where I could truly be myself on the game and Internet. When I saw the opportunity to work at the very company that made such a lasting impact on my life, it felt like everything came full circle. I applied not just because I love the game, but because I genuinely believe in the worlds KingsIsle creates, and I want to help build them for the next generation of players who might be just like me. I have extremely high hopes for this company because the team’s passion is undeniable.
When did you first learn you were autistic, and how has that shaped your life?
I was actually diagnosed with autism back in second grade, but I didn’t find out until I was in middle school. My mom chose not to tell me at the time, even though I was receiving a lot of support, like speech therapy and an IEP, or Individualized Education Program. I always felt different from the other kids, but I didn’t know why. I couldn’t explain it, and I didn’t have the words for what I was experiencing. But middle school wasn’t easy. I felt like I had to work extra hard to fit in, and I was often seen as the “quiet kid.” Things got a little better in high school, but toward the end, and especially in the beginning of college, it got harder again. I was bullied for how I communicated, even if it wasn’t always direct. A lot of the bullying came through exclusion, being left out, ignored, or dismissed. I really wanted to fit in. I went to college parties, tried to be social, tried to have a big group of friends. But it became exhausting. I experienced burnout because I was constantly doing something called masking. Masking is when an autistic person hides or suppresses their natural behaviors, like stimming, avoiding eye contact, or needing extra time to process, just to appear more “typical” or socially acceptable. It’s like acting all the time, and it takes a huge toll on your mental and emotional health.
One thing that helped me through all of this was something called a special interest. For many autistic people, a special interest is a topic, activity, or hobby they’re incredibly passionate about, something that brings intense focus, comfort, and joy. It’s more than just a hobby, it’s often a way we process the world, build confidence, and find a sense of identity. For me, that special interest was Wizard101.
Wizard101 was my escape from the real world. It wasn’t just a game; it became a special interest of mine. I played it all through elementary school, middle school, high school, and even now! My character, Julia SparkleFountain, felt like an extension of myself. I would draw her constantly, on my homework, in sketchbooks, anywhere I could. Creating art and stories around her brought me joy, comfort, and confidence when the real world felt confusing or isolating.
That passion never went away. Even now, I still draw Julia SparkleFountain, and Wizard101 continues to hold a special place in my heart. In fact, my deep connection to that game and the creativity it sparked in me actually led me to where I am today, I now work at KingsIsle Entertainment as a Marketing Associate Producer, the very company that created Wizard101.
It’s kind of wild to think about. Something that started as a safe space for me as a kid became the driving force behind my career. It showed me that following a special interest, even when others don’t understand it, can lead to something truly meaningful. Today, I’m a lot more open about being autistic. I no longer feel the need to hide who I am. I’ve surrounded myself with supportive friends, I share my story in hopes someone can relate to me, and I find peace just being myself and the game that helped me find my path.
How does your autism influence your work at KingsIsle?
As someone who is autistic, I experience a lot of anxiety around making sure everything gets done on time. I am constantly double-checking deadlines, making personal to-do lists, and yes, I am often the one poking with reminders to keep things moving. It comes from a genuine place of wanting everything to go smoothly and not wanting anyone to be caught off-guard. That urgency sometimes feels overwhelming for me internally, but it also means I am very proactive and dependable when it comes to project timelines and deliverables. In a way, my autism and anxiety make me hyper-aware of structure, which is actually really useful in a fast-paced work environment. I just try to balance that by communicating kindly and staying open to flexibility when things shift.
What strengths or perspectives do you bring to the team as an autistic person?
One of the unique strengths I bring to the team because of my autism is my literal and direct style of communication. I tend to say exactly what I mean and appreciate it when others do the same, it helps reduce confusion and keeps everyone aligned. In marketing, where clarity and consistency are key, being able to communicate in a straightforward way is a big asset. It helps ensure tasks don’t get lost in vague language, and it makes collaboration smoother, especially when we’re juggling tight deadlines and multiple moving parts. My brain is wired to look for structure and precision, and I think that complements the creative side of marketing well. That, combined with my neurodivergent perspective, adds to the diversity of thought on our teams.
How does being autistic shape your approach to gaming?
Being autistic shapes the way I approach gaming in a personal way. For me, it’s not just about the gameplay mechanics, it’s about the characters I get deeply attached to. With Wizard101, I became attached to my character Julia SparkleFountain. She was more than just a wizard in a game; she was a version of myself I could shape and express freely. She had everything I loved: ice magic, confidence, blue hair, and bright colors. In the Project DIVA series, which is a series of rhythm games known for their beautiful PVs, I developed a huge obsession with Hatsune Miku and other Crypton Future Media VOCALOID characters. I started listening to VOCALOID music in middle school, at a time when it was considered “cringe.” It is kind of funny looking back now because Hatsune Miku is finally getting the recognition she deserves. I feel like I was ahead of the curve, loving anime and Hatsune Miku way before it was trendy. But at the time, I was made fun of for it. People didn’t understand that connection, or why it meant so much to me.
What do you wish more players knew about autistic gamers?
I wish people knew that not every autistic person communicates or plays the same way. Some of us might struggle with voice chat or fast-paced social interactions in games, but that doesn’t mean we’re not engaged or that we don’t want to connect. We just connect differently and that should be welcomed, not judged.
What would you like fans to know about working in game development as an autistic person?
What I’d like fans to know is that being autistic in the gaming industry can be incredibly empowering. Working in an industry I am passionate about, surrounded by other creative and sometimes neurodivergent individuals, has shown me that my differences aren’t something to hide, they are a strength. Autism helps me approach problems in innovative ways and brings authenticity and heart into the work I do.
Julianna Valle’s story is a powerful reminder that autism is not a limitation, it’s a source of creativity and strength. As a lifelong Wizard101 fan, what began as a special interest became a creative outlet, a source of confidence, and ultimately, the inspiration for her career. Now an Associate Marketing Producer at KingsIsle, Julianna brings her unique perspective, focus, and passion to the very game that helped shape her journey. Her experience reminds us that autism is not something to be hidden, it’s something to be celebrated.

Heya everyone,
Long time, no see. For those who don’t know me, my name is Kayly and I’m the Head of Marketing for all of KingsIsle and gamigo’s PC & Console games. While I haven’t been able to directly engage with the community as much as I used to, rest assured these games and this community are always at the top of my mind.
I started playing Wizard101 back in 2013 when I was a bright-eyed optimistic high schooler. I fell in love with the game’s lore and the ability to wield spells with friends across the globe. My love for the game inspired me to write guides and become a community advocate. The more I became involved, the more it allowed me to see all of these incredibly creative niche parts of the community. My time spent running pet derby tournaments showed me the competitive resilience that existed within a relatively small side system. My time with Mercenaries101 allowed me to think more strategically and work with all sorts of different personalities and people who learned at different paces. I eventually went on to write on my own blog as well as MMORPG.com, where I got to flex my writing chops and share my excitement for the game that had given so much to me.
Now …. why am I telling you all this? It’s because my history with these games and this company is deep rooted. If not for Wizard101, I honestly don’t know where I’d be or if I’d even be living in Texas at all right now. These games, this community, this experience, is what drove me to pursue a career in the video game industry in the first place. I’ve come a long way since my beginnings at KI in QA, but oh boy has it been such a fulfilling journey. I’ve gotten to spearhead many projects that were born out of things that I wanted to see when I was a player – plushies, a vinyl record, completely branded world updates, and a heartfelt 2D 15th anniversary animation to name a few.
But I don’t do these things alone.
It takes a lot to support games as big as Wizard101 and Pirate101. The marketing team works closely with the dev team to make sure we’re highlighting features that the team is excited about. The web team was a huge part of helping to launch those new microsites that we did for Novus and Wallaru. The team at large has become closer to the community over the years – that is dev, marketing, community, and more – interacting and soliciting feedback with more regularity, so we can make the Spiral the best it can be together.
We don’t plan on any of that changing, and we want to make sure the community knows our commitment to supporting them continues. I’ve recently started to take a more direct role when it comes to community communications and strategy. I’m coordinating with Emma personally and myself and others on the team are working on supporting her with anything she needs. We ask for your patience and understanding if there are some temporary delays in the process.
The community is the beating heart of these games and I’m committed to working with both the community and the internal team to make sure that your concerns, feedback, and thoughts continue to be heard and are taken seriously.
So here’s what will be changing for the time being:
- Your main point of contact. Anything that you would’ve sent to Hawkules or Sparck, please direct to Emma instead.
- Who you see in the discord. New faces will be around to support both you and Emma. Please give a great big KI welcome to any new names you might see!
- That includes me! I’ll be poking my head in every so often to support Emma and the team.
Here’s what won’t be changing:
The team’s commitment to you and the games. I’m not the only community member who has made the jump from player to employee over the years. People like Mia, Mercedes, Mesa, and more across all different departments are a huge part of making things happen here at KI, and numerous new features and projects have kicked off because of what they bring to the table. Other KI employees have even been at the company 10+ years! Our team cares about Wizard101 and Pirate101 deeply and we don’t plan on stopping our momentum anytime soon. Please keep chatting, giving feedback on any new content, and sharing awesome community creations! We love seeing it and sharing cool things we see with the dev team.
I’m so excited to have an opportunity to return to where my journey started – interacting more often with the community to support all of you and everything you do (it’ll be a really nice break from the constant pouring over spreadsheets and data!).
This community quite literally changed my life, and I want to do everything in my power to do you and these games justice by helping to pave a successful path forward.
All my best wishes,
Kayly (Vanessa Mythdust)
