Autcraft is a Minecraft server dedicated to be a safe haven for children who are neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of autism.
[2] Founded in 2013, Autcraft was the first Minecraft server created with neurodiversity in mind.
It was founded by Stuart Duncan, a web developer in Timmins, Canada whose son is diagnosed with autism, and is known in-game as AutismFather.
[3][4] Autcraft was created so such children could play their favourite game with others without facing the threat of bullying and discrimination.
"[7] Autcraft was the subject of a 2015 conference paper by Ringland et al. in which empirical data was gathered from a digital ethnography of the server to explore how parents of autistic children continually create a "safe" virtual world through both implicit and explicit means.
