Release date: 2016-05-04 Everything is like a high-rise building, starting with the foundation. But now, thousands of autistic children are learning social skills because of a construction game. Stuart Duncan, from his own blog, thought of a good idea to help autistic children to establish communication - Minecraft, and he also raised a son with autism. Parents of other autistic children have also feedback to them, and their children are very obsessed with this game that is free to explore randomly generated wilderness. Although I like this game very much, there are still many children who are bullied by other players. Therefore, Duncan, who is engaged in web development, established a Minecraft server for autistic children and families in 2013. He thought that this single server could attract ten people. However, hundreds of people applied to join in the first few days, which surprised him. Now, three years later, running this "Autcraft" (Minecraft of the autistic crowd) has become his full-time job. There are more than 7,000 members in the community and a management team that helps organize various activities. There is no real world pressure and trouble in Minecraft, where you can do whatever you want. Parents also saw this. This server attracted the attention of the University of California, Kate Ringland. She spent 60 hours observing how children play and communicate in this virtual world. Autcraft is not just an online group, it is also a tool to help autistic children exercise their social skills. Next month, she will present her findings at a meeting of human factors in computers in San Jose, California. In Minecraft, you can use a lot of materials like wood and stone to build anything you like, from simple computers to cities created with painstaking efforts. Ringland said, "It is a good way for autistic children to learn social experiences while playing their favorite games. This gives the children an alternative way of expressing themselves and communication freely. The current society is not very friendly to these autistic children who need to understand social rules or understand others' opinions. There is no real world pressure in Minecraft, no noisy, unfamiliar environmental interference, no observations and eyes. Repression of communication. In Minecraft, social interaction, relationship building, friendly communication, everything depends on you and the keyboard in your hand. To join Autcraft, you need to fill out the application form. Once you pass, you can freely wander around and build your own building. You can also participate in team games - the war "wither" - a ghostly villain, or a group to build something interesting. But you also have to follow some rules. It is forbidden to harass or destroy the property of others. Ringland observed the players in Autcraft and sorted out the discussion of related online forums. She found that the children played together to build friendship. She also saw the children express their feelings - the joy in the game and the sadness in reality. There are still many people who are rethinking that minecraft supports such social behavior. Joining a community like Autcraft may be a good first step to reduce anxiety and increase participation, but it is not the only way out. Minecraft may not be able to teach children how to socialize. However, in the social environment that builds the same interest, Autcraft has demonstrated its strength. Because it is based on the interests and emotions of autistic patients, not guidance.
