Imaginary play... did you guys pretend when you were young?

They say that one of the signs of autism is an inability to engage in pretend play. But then they also say that autistic folks have a "rich inner world." These feel contradictory to me. What am I missing? If you did play pretend as a kid, does that come from the ADHD? Or is it all just part of the spectrum? Or is it a misdiagnosis?

** Edit: Thanks everyone! That was fun to live through with you. Nostalgia. Glad to know we thoroughly debunked the lack of pretend play narrative here today. Carry on with your rich inner worlds! Best place to be.
