If you are like me, I like my problem-solving processes to be ordered, smooth and predictable. Sometimes, IMHO, we need to harden ourselves to the harsh realities of this world (that would disrupt that).

  1. Minesweeper- Playing the biggest field, I only win about 8% of my attempts. I cherish my wins, but it helps me to process loss better. (Be ready to set aside any illusions of perfection, however.)
  2. Sudoku- I take a very systematic approach to these puzzles, but there is usually a tipping [a posteriori] point where you have enough information to solve a good portion of the puzzle, but it requires putting your a priori procedures on hold. (Switching from a priori reasoning to a posteriori is a good skill to cultivate.)
PS: Please feel free add your own ideas for such games and how they might be therapeutic for ASDs (besides responding to my choices).

I love playing online Solitaire - in particular, the "Double Klondike, Turn One" version.
 
I know what you mean. I tend to play games to improve my problem solving but I tend to play ones that help build by reaction time and reflexes. I.e. I have a limited time to solve a problem and need to solve it quickly. So I play games like Titanfall, telltale, MK and dishonored etc
