I'm in an interesting position and need advice. DnD at

This goes against the autism stereotype, but sounds like it's less about the rules and more with having fun with it.

How much can they handle in terms of in game rules? Pay attention to what they like and dislike. Be willing to throw out the rules entirely if they look like they're not having fun.

How much experience do you have taking care of autistic kids?

I wouldn't do it for less than $200 a session, but then I've had experience of being responsible for autistic teenagers and I know I hate it. I think it really comes down to whether you're cut out for the position.

I don't think it actually sounds that bad.
I've only met one of them, but this does feel like a job for rules-fudging have-fun mode.
I'd probably end up running something themed like pic related.

I don't have that much experience. In high school there was an autistic guy who I got very good at talking to and I think he considered me one of his few friends, even if I couldn't stand him.

I've only met one of them, so they might not all be that bad

What this guy said.

I work with autistic adults, so... best thing to do would be to speak to whoever previously worked with them, get as much pre-knowledge as possible. Find out their triggers etc.

Honestly, if they're out in the community, they won't be "that bad", I have a blast at work and it's pretty rewarding. If you want to be cynical about it, think of it as cv building.

Just don't cast Rigid Thinking ;)

The real difficulty will be if one or more of them are the rules-lawyering min-maxing kind of autistic. Keeping them happy as well as the one you met would be a real nightmare.

I think I'll try and contact the last dm. I was told he left because of school, but getting info from him should be good. I'll also probably try to meet the rest of them before a theoretical session 1.
I figure I'll make a very short test dungeon to figure out just how ludicrously overpowered they are.

I think I'll probably do it. It'll be dm practice, and at worst, greentext fodder.

Definitely contact the last DM and tell us how it goes.

Reminds me of this one anon who posted a while back with his experience dming a game for kids in juvie.

>>52179151

Is it possible to talk to their handlers? Would be good to know specific needs/issues beforehand. If possible, work with them on the campaign. Roleplay can be a good form of therapy for mental issues, so ask about what lessons they might need to learn.

>System is 3.5
Oh, this explains a lot. You poor poor bastard.

>>52181454
Currently all I've got is the offer. I'm gonna look into it and talk to people.
(Handlers, previous dm, whoever will supposedly be paying me, etc)
Both games I've played were 3.5, so at least I don't have to learn that much.
