An exploration of how live-action role-playing helps one young man live with autism.
Producer, camera, editor • 2015
LARPing, or live-action roleplaying, is a game in which people create characters and act out storylines within fictional worlds, in real time, in costume. We go LARPing and meet Jon Gallagher, a LARPer with Asperger's syndrome, and see how LARPing helps him make friends, learn social skills, get a job, and in many ways, saves his life.
