I couldn't agree more with this article! My son has mild autism, and I used to have a really hard time getting him to open up in conversation. Just a couple game sessions running him through good old "B1 - Journey INto The Unknown" and there was a marked change in his willingness to have a conversation. It really helped with his basic social graces - he didn't want to talk to me, but that ghost that couldn't tell it was dead and wanted help was a real head-scratcher! He really needed to (and wanted!) to work to find the right words and approach to the issue in order to try to help her. All played on FG, thank you :D

Somebody ought to do a ruleset for this (below) - a whole new market for FG.
