Autistic children love Minecraft as much as anyone, but they're often bullied by other kids on multiplayer servers.

He shares how the server changed the lives of kids and parents, Autcraft's accessibility features that Minecraft has implemented into its game for all players, and why social scientists study the server for autism research.
