Minecraftwas massively important to us, hesays.

When he was young he had a very limited vocabulary and a very limited way to express himself.

He went from a vocabulary of 10 words to a vocabulary of words like obsidian.

He loved being there, he wanted to share it with me.

To address this, Duncan created Autcrafta safe, inclusiveMinecraftserver designed specifically for those who need it.

Duncan left his job as a web developer when he realized he could help neurodivergent kids who were suffering.

Eventually my work suffered.

Id be talking to my boss and Id say hold on a minute, this kid needs me.

When someone joins Autcraft, other players are there to welcome them and give them a tour.

We’re here for each other and will support each other for as long as need be.
