Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) are popular hobbies that may offer specific social benefits for autistic people. This study investigated the ability of TTRPGs to provide a safe space where autistic adults could develop relationships with other autistic adults while engaging in character and world-building. A group of eight autistic adults were split into two groups and taken through a short-form online Dungeons and Dragons campaign over 6 weeks run by one of the researchers.

Patients: 43 patients (34 UCLP, 9 BCLP) with non-syndromic complete clefts, bone-grafted at mean age 9yrs/3mos, with available post-graft occlusal radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) (taken mean 4yrs/9mos post-ABG).
Main Outcome Measures: 2D occlusal radiographs rated twice using SWAG by 6 calibrated raters.
Objective: To investigate the craniofacial growth outcomes of early secondary alveolar bone grafting(ABG) around 6 years of age.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: 1 North-American and 5 Northern-European cleft centers.
Objective: To compare the outcomes between 2 groups of patients with complete clefts treated with early secondary alveolar bone grafting (ABG) at 2 centers (5-7 years, orthodontic intervention) and to a third group of patients treated at one of those centers (center 1) who had received later secondary ABG (8-10 years, orthodontic intervention).
Design: Blind retrospective analysis of cleft site radiographs using Americleft Standardized Way to Assess Grafts (SWAG) scale.
Patients: A total of 99 patients with complete clefts from 2 North American cleft/craniofacial centers.
