@foolishowl@social.coop Exactly!! What prompted me to ask this question was a Facebook post by Naomi Fischer, she's basically saying what you're saying... https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17xKsSdyr8/ And I started wondering about imagination more generally. I think the idea we don't have any - or limited - might be a great deal to do with societal expectations.

@foolishowl@social.coop no, you're not supposed to play that way anymore at that age! Seriously though: could it be that we just discover the joys of specifically social roleplay much later than NTs? I remember cringing at playing Father-mother-child (I found it mind -numbingly boring, but also remember feeling a strong aversion bordering on fear about pretending to be someone else). I didn't like role-playing games in my twenties (loved the rule structures but never knew what to say). I'm in my forties now, and have rediscovered role playing and enjoy being a creative game master for my son and his friends. @KatyElphinstone@mas.to
