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

Comments

Atherton et al. wanted to specifically investigate how autistic players experience D&D when playing in groups with other autistic players. It's essentially a case study with a small sample size—just eight participants

This is a nice study but not one to extrapolate anything from.

Why is this style of comment on every single study that gets posted? It was a small sample size in rats, we get it.

It bears repeating in every thread with a small sample size or people might run away with what is basically anecdata as scientifically validated results.

It is helpful. Those who hoped to see what the title implicitly promised now know that it isn't there, saving a click.
