Bob 1. Various Adventure League DMs did the following. Wrote spells on 3 by 5 or larger cards to include drawings of dice. Think 3 by 5 with magic missile written out and 3d4s. He was told to match his dice to the picture of the dice. His dice rolling varies so much I gave him a dice tray. Currently I treat him as a "Horny 15 year old" when he gets on my nerves. And to speed game play we occasionally count his dice for him. Especially for boss fights when we have a 7 person table. Occasionally we tell him "don't go there" when his conversation goes to far. That varies with who is at the table.
Bob 2. Use crutches and needs a chair with arm rests. We have made sure the game store has two chairs for him. He a "Sugar rushed 13 year old who can't stay on topic. And a junk food junkie." We do remind him pass our junk food back to us. To say on topic. And don't play other people's PC.

Thanks for describing some of the people you PLAY with. Are there any ways that you've seen the games help them?
Made some quote changes and I trying very hard not to use real names. You don't need to know. And I have only been given permission by Bob1 to use his real name. And his real name is not Bob.
That is hard to say. Is the GAME or the GROUP? None of us have any training dealing with the various disorders except for those who are teachers like the group's cheerleader.
Most of the group are generally helpful. But we generally keep Bob2 away from Phil. Phil and Bob2 are more a personality conflict than Phil not willing to understand the disorders.
I know both of their reading skills have increased.
Bob 1 social skills have pick up alot. He generally does not do the "date the drow priestess" if a female or teenager is at the table. He does accept his pc deaths, if I ask him twice "are you sure". He does not seem as confused about our jokes. He been playing with group so long now; if a personal problem pops up, we don't if it is us, or his family. His parents divorce about 12-18 months ago. So sometimes, we TRY to remember to ask if he having a problem.
Bob2 his gaming style has not changed much, but before the shut down he was trying to away from his goblin x, or Ranger x build. He has pick up the group's Cheerleader, and my vocal stresses. And he know he is on thin ground when I give him my WTF face. So some of his social skills have picked up. I did have to do "a Come to Jesus" chewing out with him over a minor story award he was upset about. He is schedule to play at my house this weekend. And he is playing a half-orc ranger. But this smart and he is planning ahead. Because another DM said once the lock down is lift, a tier 2 Orcs and Half-orcs AL series will be ran. So his planning skills have improved. And he moved out to his own apartment.
Again, I cannot say if the game or the group. I will go with a mix.
