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.


Get a second device, host a game on one of them, and play together with him. When he’s ready to solo he can start his own local game, and later you guys can start a server for longer term plans.
