My kid is 7 and autistic and suddenly he has started liking Minecraft. He’s watched me play it and wants to play himself.
How can I get him started? Do I just give him the laptop and trust he can figure it out or do I find a way to explain the controls?
My absolute dream would be to spin up a server with him.


When my son started playing, I got him an rgb keyboard that was programmable. So only the basic keys for moving, jumping etc. we’re lit, the rest he figured out himself.
