Comment on Study: Playing D&D helps autistic players in social interactions

Comments

Most of the result is

"Autistic people are more comfortable playing D&D than in natural social interactions", which is well known.

A small part was that some people "bleed" personality from their fantasy persona to their real persona.

You can do that in D&D, but you can also do that with any kind of self-talk / persona building / masking, which non-autists also do. Actors in movies and plays do it too.
