Taking off the Mask: A Neurodivergent Tabletop RPG
Unmasking can be difficult, especially if we believe that our true selves are broken or disfigured. But maybe the behaviors we are hiding aren’t simply “symptoms” of an illness, but rather specialized skills. This game provides a fun take on that concept. It’s a way to get us thinking about how we can use our common neurodivergent “symptoms” (aka superpowers) to our advantage in everyday interactions.
Instead of hiding behind the normalcy of our Alter Ego, let’s don our Cape of Difference and learn to wield our powers!
