(hopefully this doesn't cross the 'no politics' rule)
As I mentioned in the 'What are y'all up to these days?' thread, one of the potential new players in the game I run for some local teens is, in the words of his friends, a 'high-functioning autistic'. He seems like a good kid, and potentially a good roleplayer. However, I'm not certain if my relatively loose approach to GMing is going to be a problem for him, as he seems to like rules that are very clear-cut. At times in play he seemed to be very risk-averse, and he often wanted to know what was the 'correct' choice to make.
So I was wondering if any of you had any experience in dealing with players on the autism spectrum, and if so if you had any tips or bits of advice to give to a Tulpa Girl who has no idea what she should be doing here.
