| I don't know if it's cool or not--my ADHD kid with lots of friends plays with a few other neurospicy kids--but it seems more widespread than ever before, and I've worked with kids for my whole career. |
Wtf is a neurospicy kid? |
|
Most of the kids my kids know play it enough that it's in their regular rotation. I dropped a mom acquaintance when my kids set up a time to play with a group that included her kid and she went ballistic on the kids and wouldn't let her kid play.
What an idjit. She also refused to let her kid read the Harry Potter books or see the movies but her kid was the Grand Theft Auto master. Name the violent movie and he probably saw it twice. |
DP and I’ve seen it posted twice on this thread. Yes, can someone please explain. |
| My young adult kid started playing in HS and continued in college. Now watches some YouTube version of others playing?? |
I was a high school junior in 1993 and never met a single person who played D&D. I think it was initially big in the 80s. |
Try 1973 |
It became very popular about 10 yrs ago. |
| Def not |
An alternative way of saying autistic or ADHD. I’ve found it usually used by the parents of kids with ADHD or autism or adults/teens with it. |
| Dungeons and dragons is definitely still considered nerdy and not cool at my kids middle and high school. There is a club and I think it’s great that kids have options and can do what they like. It doesn’t matter if it’s cool or not. |
This. My teen likes to get boba from a place inside of a comic book store where they play this, and you should see the dirty, smelly people playing. |
From your posts, i see the chuds are still the same over the years. |
Some people are still in middle school despite being 40. |
Did you fall off the blueberry truck yesterday? It’s still for quirky fringe kids and always has been. It doesn’t make it less fun - but come on be realistic |
