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.

    Update: I took the plunge and loaded Minecraft on my laptop.

    Got him in a creative world for now First attempt he chose his own blocks and made me build a small house for him.

    I’m happy to take the step and if he gets into it I’ll get him his own account.

    Lessons learned though

    1. I need to find a way of making the keys more accessible.

    2. A smaller mouse so his hand can reach the buttons again I need to get one that is more accessible with some texture for him

    I’m blown away by the suggestions on here thanks everyone
