Like many cnstructins, it started small. But nw thusands f children with autism (自闭症) are making friends and learning scial skills by playing a special versin f nline building game Minecraft.
Stuart Duncan gt the idea thrugh a ppular blg he ran abut his wn experiences with autism as well as bringing up a sn with autism. Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy abut a game that let them explre a randmly generated wilderness. Hwever, despite lving the game, many f the children were being bullied (霸凌) by ther players.
S, in 2013, Duncan, a web develper in Canada, set up a server t run a versin f Minecraft nly fr children with autism and their families.

The cmmunity has nearly 7000 members, alng with a team f engineers t help manage its many activities. “Parents see such a benefit fr themselves and their children,” says Duncan.
In Minecraft, yu use blcks f materials like wd and stne t build whatever yu like. “This is a great way fr them t play a game they lve, but als have a scial experience,” says Kate Ringland frm the University f Califrnia, wh has spent 60 hurs inside this virtual wrld, watching hw the kids play and chat t ne anther. “It’s giving an alternative way fr these kids t express themselves and cmmunicate withut the stresses f the physical life stuff.”
Everyday scial situatins can be challenging fr autistic children, wh may struggle t pick up n scial signals r understand anther persn’s viewpint. Duncan thinks Minecraft remves the pressures typical f the real wrld. There is n nisy r unfamiliar envirnment t distract (使分心) yu, n pressure t track the ther persn’s facial expressins r wrry abut eye cntact. Jining a cmmunity like Autcraft culd be a gd first step t feeling less scially anxius and mre engaged.

C. Why D Online Games Benefit Children? D. Hw Des Autcraft Help Autistic Children?
D
With the yung unable t affrd t leave hme and the ld at risk f islatin (孤独), mre families are chsing t live tgether.
The drway t peace and quiet, fr Nick Bright at least, leads straight t his mther-in-law: she lives n the grund flr, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their tw daughters.
Fur years ag they all mved int a three-strey Victrian huse in Bristl — ne f a grwing number f multigeneratinal families in the UK living tgether under the same rf. They share a frnt dr and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her wn kitchen, bathrm, bedrm and living rm n the grund flr.

Hwever, despite lving the game, many f the children were being bullied (霸凌) by ther players.
S, in 2013, Duncan, a web develper in Canada, set up a server t run a versin f Minecraft nly fr children with autism and their families. He thught the invite-nly server wuld attract 10 r 20 peple, but hundreds requested t jin in the first few days. Nw, almst three years later, running the special versin, Autcraft, is his full-time jb. The cmmunity has nearly 7000 members, alng with a team f engineers t help manage its many activities. “Parents see such a benefit fr themselves and their children,” says Duncan.
In Minecraft, yu use blcks f materials like wd and stne t build whatever yu like. “This is a great way fr them t play a game they lve, but als have a scial experience,” says Kate Ringland frm the University f Califrnia, wh has spent 60 hurs inside this virtual wrld, watching hw the kids play and chat t ne anther. “It’s giving an alternative way fr these kids t express themselves and cmmunicate withut the stresses f the physical life stuff.”
Everyday scial situatins can be challenging fr autistic children, wh may struggle t pick up n scial signals r understand anther persn’s viewpint. Duncan thinks Minecraft remves the pressures typical f the real wrld. There is n nisy r unfamiliar envirnment t distract (使分心) yu, n pressure t track the ther persn’s facial expressins r wrry abut eye cntact.

With the yung unable t affrd t leave hme and the ld at risk f islatin (孤独), mre families are chsing t live tgether.
