I think I have some degree of autism but I thought one of the most enjoyable parts of Shenmue was when you work as a forklift driver at the docks. Driving around moving crates was pretty zen and it got me thinking a lot. Very soothing.

There are all sorts of real life "arrange things" tasks that can be really soothing, too. You may enjoy http://thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com/

The reward were the after-work forklift races. Lol, spending that 15 minutes moving those crates from one place to another was torture. Good game though
