How Minecraft Can Help Autism

June 10, 2015

Block building video game Minecraft could help children with autism interact with others, according to medics.

The National Autistic Society’s speech expert said the game could help autistic children improve their communication, concentration and ability to solve problems.

Liverpool mum Lisa Taft said her 14-year-old son Donny “struggled with interaction” but enjoyed Minecraft because the game was “never-ending” and relied on “imagination”.

Donny said: “My confidence has now improved… and I’ve made a lot of friends around the world.”
