If you're unfamiliar, Sword Art Online is an anime about a VR-based MMORPG where players with a NerveGear VR system can create a customizable character with fluctuating stats and attributes and other characteristics that will grow to obtain new talent trees and skills and abilities, among other typical MMORPG things.
I discussed anime roleplay with my therapist last week because I found a Discord server that happens to operate with SAO roleplay, and I just so happened to have submitted a character for doing so on said server, and I wrote him to display some traits of high-functioning autism because why else not.
Gamers with autism might enjoy immersing themselves in a visualization of SAO's holographic system interface to navigate all their thoughts and habits fandom-style, and I think as long as you're not too vocal about it, and keep it mostly to yourself, you could probably end up with some creative ways to think and create new and more refined ideas on the spot faster and at a more natural rate to be presentable to someone who might need them, which in turn is a somewhat commonly noticed trait of autism, oftentimes attributed to very high intelligence.
I just see it fitting very well with an autism patient's thinking process, as long as it's not taken *too* seriously. But that's the beauty of these things. Even the way someone thinks isn't perfect.
