Emotional regulation: RPGs can provide a safe and structured environment for neurodivergent children to practice managing their emotions. The structure and rules of the game can help children feel more in control and better able to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

Creative expression: Tabletop RPGs allow players to use their imagination and creativity to create and play characters and participate in story-driven gameplay. This can be a great outlet for neurodivergent children to express themselves and explore their own interests and passions.

Improved mental health: Tabletop RPGs can provide a sense of accomplishment, community, and social connection, which can all contribute to improved mental health. Participating in a structured activity with a clear goal can also provide a sense of purpose and help with stress management.
