I had ignored it, I saw the synposis and it reminded me of 'The 100' which I had just recently been introduced to on Netflix maybe a year ago, so I was thinking 'not again'.

A mind blowing cruel experiment on Netflix users USA Netflix had Ascension at the very top of my 'Hey I want you to watch this' queue for some time now.
KICKSTARTER ASCENSION TV SHOW PLUS
The A Plus Kickstarter has already met its funding goal and the campaign ends Tuesday, November 20th. “If children are willing to play A Plus a few times, the repetition mechanism will definitely help to build this particular set of social behaviours,” he said. His experience of teaching others helped guide his design of A Plus. Wu found during his research that children on the autism spectrum required additional social learning, so he designed A Plus to encourage social behavior using positive reinforcement. He’s also taught graphic design and information technology in the Los Angeles Unified School District, as well as board game design classes throughout China. Wu has a degree in psychology with an emphasis on behavior analysis. “Without any references to follow, I decided to take a bold approach and design one myself.” “This inspired me to challenge myself to make a small contribution to the autistic community by creating a game suitable for autistic players,” he said. He researched activities and games that were suitable for these players.
While designing A Plus, Wu found that most books and websites referenced games that weren’t specifically designed for children on the autism spectrum. If they complete six activities, then they receive an A+.
KICKSTARTER ASCENSION TV SHOW SERIES
Players work together with the help of an adult to complete a series of activities. A Plus is a 2-4 player cooperative game that reinforces and improves social skills for younger gamers on the autism spectrum. After receiving positive feedback from playtesters and parents, he decided to fund it on Kickstarter. Inspired by their conversation, Wu continued working on his game A Plus. “Meeting a stranger who studies autism sitting next to me on an airplane was like a sign.” He struggled to finish designing the game until his flight back from this year’s Gen Con, when he wound up sitting next to a psychology graduate student working on a grant to study infants with autism. “What are the chances, right?” Wu recalled. He began researching and working on a game, but often questioned himself about whether or not he was doing the right thing. After watching TV shows featuring characters with autism like Atypical and The Good Doctor he wanted to make a game for players on the autism spectrum.
Game designer Ta-Te Wu was intrigued by the Hollywood depiction of people with autism.
