[QUOTE="jasper, post: 8062579, member: 277"] I am DMing for 2 regular players with disorders and 2 sometime players. It varies with the disorder and personality type. Two standards are "extra time". And "Repeat back" especially since both regular players don't pick up on the visual clues. And the next part is not going to very nice. 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. Bob 3. Have not seen him since lockdown. But does not get jokes. And his mom limits his game time and told us to limit his game time. And only allow him to play two character types. Otherwise he will not do his school work. If his mom had NOT told us, we would have NOT known especially with jokes since all the dms were 25+ and he was 13 or 14? Bob 4. Perfectionist. I gave him his first skull when ran his first game. All the players remind him to slow down, and don't worry if we go off script. It does help that at least his father plays all sessions. We do select his AL modules for him to DM. Bob 5 is a possible. She is about my age but has not announced any problems. I think she has a reading problem. 2+ years she still hand copies and reads out about half the spells. We just wait on her. Jasper he is goober, light depression, and needs to go to AA meetings. edit. Jasper is a lousy editor and thinks he has spelled correcting and put in all the words. [/QUOTE]
