My real-life, daily communication is primarily through analogies. Like, when I'm trying to translate the abstract thoughts that are in my mind (which are both wordless and pictureless), I am thinking about analogies.
It's all analogy. https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1386921714316054529

As it pertains to D&D and ttrpgs, this is one reason why the 4e DMG is so much better than anything 5th edition has.
Why? Because it has a LOT of examples and analogies written into it. It doesn't just tell you a thing- it explains it, and then gives an example.

If you're a game designer or writer, and you AREN'T neurodivergent, I honestly think you need to add someone into your team that is.
I don't have stats, but anecdotally, there seems to be a higher than average percentage of ND people in D&D and ttrpgs.

(I have many hunches as to why that might be, and there's a really fascinating discussion to be had there about the perfect combination of rules/structure with creative space making things feel safe, but I'm going to resist that side-rail and keep this thread short and sweet...)
