D&D saved his life

[SlobberKnocker]

I thought the following post worthy of discussion. I have come across many players over the years that due to certain disabilities have come to rely on UO to bring a tremendous amount of satisfaction and belonging. This story shows that the social setting these games provide actually proved to develop the boy into a more functioning member of society. I hope you let it stand in Uhall for maximum exposure given that UO is sort of a next generation child of D&D.

A very touching story, and a very astute parent! I think the actual personal interaction was an especially important factor.
