Does Anyone Know If This Has A Name?

Pikl

I refer to it as "play", for want of a better term. A friend of mine and I engage frequently in a communication exchange (text) that appears to be similar to children's role play, though without the active element.

I can see it potentially relating to abstract thinking and creative problem solving in this "play", though I'm currently making assumptions. 

I am curious to know if what I refer to as "play" actually has a name, what it's purpose is, and if it relates at all to autism, or not.

  • This sounds a little like Improv, which technically, isa form of free play within a structure and works incredibly well with close relationships you can trust/depend on. For instance, the reason the TV show Friends became better over time, is the ensemble became friends after years of working together. The technique was part of what Stanislavski inspired in his students. Some methods are actually good for learning to become comfortable staring DEEP INTO THE SOUL of another hahaha aka "eye contact".

    I didn't explain it properly, I kinda expect people to know what I mean. I'm struggling to describe it also, which isn't helping. Haha I've sabotaged my own thread. Grinning
