Dan, a contestant on BBC's The Traitors, discusses how his autism influenced his strategy and social interactions in the game. He explains the challenges of maintaining flexibility and empathy while prioritizing game-focused thinking, leading to both successes and struggles.
The Traitors star Dan opens up about his gameplay The BBC ’s hit gameshow The Traitors is the perfect mix of strategy and emotions, with twists and turns keeping every player on their toes.
