If you don't know the game very well, don't worry too much about it.

So about four years ago, I started a Minecraft server

ื•ืงืจืืชื™ ืœื• "ืื•ื˜ืงืจืืคื˜".
00:47
And since then, we've been in the news all around the world,

ื•ืžืื– ื”ื•ืคืขื ื• ื‘ื—ื“ืฉื•ืช ืกื‘ื™ื‘ ื”ืขื•ืœื ื›ื•ืœื•,

on television and radio and magazines.

ื‘ื˜ืœื•ื•ื™ื–ื™ื”, ื‘ืจื“ื™ื• ื•ื‘ืžื’ื–ื™ื ื™ื.
00:53
Buzzfeed called us "one of the best places on the internet."

We're also the subject of an award-winning research paper called

It's a bit of a mouthful.

ื–ื” ืฉื•ื‘ืจ ืฉื™ื ื™ื™ื ืจืฆื™ื ื™.

ืื‘ืœ ื”ื‘ื ืชื ืืช ื”ืงื˜ืข, ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘.
01:08
So I want to talk a little bit about that research paper

ืื– ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืงืฆืช ืขืœ ื”ืžืืžืจ ื”ื”ื•ื
01:11
and what it's about,
21

1303
ื•ืขืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ืžืชืืจ,
01:12
but first I have to give you a little bit of history
22

ืื‘ืœ ืงื•ื“ื ืื ื™ ืฆืจื™ืš ืœืชืช ืœื›ื ืงืฆืช ืจืงืข
ืขืœ ืื™ืš ื”ืฉืจืช ื”ื–ื” ื ื•ืฆืจ.
01:15
on how the server came to be.
23

01:16
Back in 2013, everybody was playing Minecraft,
24
76711
3690
ื‘ื–ืžื ื• ื‘-2013 ื›ื•ืœื ืฉื™ื—ืงื• ืžื™ื™ื ืงืจืืคื˜,
01:20
kids and adults alike,
25
80425
2268
ื™ืœื“ื™ื ื•ืžื‘ื•ื’ืจื™ื ื’ื ื™ื—ื“,
01:22
with and without autism, of course.
26
82717
2188
ืขื ื•ื‘ืœื™ ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื, ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ.
01:24
But it was the big thing.
27
84929
1422
ืื‘ืœ ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ื”ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœ.
01:26
But I saw parents on social media reaching out to other parents,
28
86375
3047
ืื‘ืœ ืจืื™ืชื™ ื”ื•ืจื™ื ื‘ืจืฉืชื•ืช ื”ื—ื‘ืจืชื™ื•ืช ืžื ืกื™ื ืœื™ืฆื•ืจ ืงืฉืจ ืขื ื”ื•ืจื™ื ืื—ืจื™ื,
01:29
asking if their autistic children could play together.
29
89446
2785
ืฉื•ืืœื™ื ืื ื”ื™ืœื“ื™ื ื”ืื•ื˜ื™ืกื˜ื™ื ืฉืœื”ื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืฉื—ืง ื‘ื™ื—ื“.
01:32
And the reason is that when they tried to play on public servers,
30
92255
3102
ื•ื”ืกื™ื‘ื” ื”ื™ื, ืฉื›ืฉื”ื ื ื™ืกื• ืœืฉื—ืง ืขืœ ืฉืจืชื™ื ืฆื™ื‘ื•ืจื™ื™ื,
01:35
they kept running into bullies and trolls.
31

2285
ื”ื ื ืชืงืœื• ืฉื•ื‘ ื•ืฉื•ื‘ ื‘ื‘ืจื™ื•ื ื™ื ื•ื‘ื˜ืจื•ืœื™ื.
01:37
When you have autism, you behave a little differently sometimes,
32
97690
3130
ื›ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื›ื ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื, ืืชื ืžืชื ื”ื’ื™ื ืงืฆืช ืื—ืจืช ืœืคืขืžื™ื,
01:40
sometimes a lot differently.
33
100844
1704
ืœืคืขืžื™ื ืžืื“ ืื—ืจืช.
01:42
And we all know a little bit of difference is all you really need
34
102572
3122
ื•ื›ื•ืœื ื• ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื ืฉืจืง ืงืฆืช ืื—ืจืช ื–ื” ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉืฆืจื™ืš
01:45
for a bully to make you their next target.
35
105718
2361
ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœ ืฉื‘ื™ืจื™ื•ืŸ ื™ื”ืคื•ืš ืืชื›ื ืœืžื˜ืจื” ื”ื‘ืื” ืฉืœื•.
01:48
So these terrible, terrible people online,
36
108103
2051
ืื– ื”ืื ืฉื™ื ื”ืžืžืฉ ื ื•ืจืื™ื™ื ื”ืืœื• ื‘ืจืฉืช,
01:50
they would destroy everything that they tried to make,
37
110959
2686
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ื”ื•ืจืกื™ื ืืช ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื ื ื™ืกื• ืœืขืฉื•ืช,
01:53
they would steal all their stuff,
38
113669
1618
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ื’ื•ื ื‘ื™ื ืœื”ื ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื,
01:55
and they would kill them over and over again,
39
115311
2118
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ื”ื•ืจื’ื™ื ืื•ืชื ืฉื•ื‘ ื•ืฉื•ื‘,
ื•ื”ื•ืคื›ื™ื ืืช ื”ืžืฉื—ืง ืœื‘ืœืชื™ ืฉื—ื™ืง ืœืžืขืฉื”.
01:57
making the game virtually unplayable.
40
117453
1783
01:59
But the worst part, the part that really hurt the most,
41
119260
2683
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื—ืœืง ื”ื ื•ืจื ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ, ื”ื—ืœืง ืฉื‘ืืžืช ื›ืื‘ ื”ื›ื™ ื”ืจื‘ื”,
02:01
was what these bullies would say to these kids.
42
121967
2412
ื”ื™ื” ืžื” ืฉื”ื‘ื™ืจื™ื•ื ื™ื ื”ืืœื” ื”ื™ื• ืื•ืžืจื™ื ืœื™ืœื“ื™ื ื”ืืœื”.
02:04
They'd call them rejects
43
124762
1516
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืงื•ืจืื™ื ืœื”ื ืคืกื•ืœื™ื,
02:06
and defects
44
126758
1162
ื•ืคื’ื•ืžื™ื
02:08
and retards.
45
128602
1180
ื•ืžืคื’ืจื™ื.
02:10
And they would tell these kids, some as young as six years old,
46
130288
3334
ื•ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืื•ืžืจื™ื ืœื™ืœื“ื™ื ื”ืœืœื•, ื—ืœืงื ืจืง ื‘ื ื™ ืฉืฉ,
02:13
that society doesn't want them,
47
133646
1631
ืฉื”ื—ื‘ืจื” ืœื ืจื•ืฆื” ื‘ื”ื,
02:15
and their own parents never wanted a broken child,
48
135301
2388
ื•ืฉื”ื”ื•ืจื™ื ืฉืœื”ื ืžืขื•ืœื ืœื ืจืฆื• ื™ืœื“ ืฉื‘ื•ืจ,
02:17
so they should just kill themselves.
49
137713
1790
ืื– ื”ื›ื™ ื˜ื•ื‘ ืฉื”ื ืคืฉื•ื˜ ื™ื”ืจื’ื• ืืช ืขืฆืžื.
02:20
And of course, these kids, you understand,
50
140579
2259
ื•ื”ื™ืœื“ื™ื ื”ืืœื•, ื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ, ืืชื ืžื‘ื™ื ื™ื,
02:22
they would sign off from these servers angry and hurt.
51
142862
2544
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืžืชื ืชืงื™ื ืžื”ืฉืจืชื™ื ื”ืืœื” ื›ื•ืขืกื™ื ื•ืคื’ื•ืขื™ื.
02:25
They would break their keyboards, they'd quite literally hate themselves,
52
145430
3475
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืฉื•ื‘ืจื™ื ืืช ื”ืžืงืœื“ื•ืช ืฉืœื”ื, ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืžืžืฉ ืฉื•ื ืื™ื ืืช ืขืฆืžื,
02:28
and their parents felt powerless to do anything.
53
148929
2433
ื•ื”ื”ื•ืจื™ื ืฉืœื”ื ื”ืจื’ื™ืฉื• ื—ืกืจื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœืช ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืžืฉื”ื•.
02:31
So I decided I had to try and help.
54
151386
2260
ืื– ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืฉืื ื™ ืฆืจื™ืš ืœื ืกื•ืช ืœืขื–ื•ืจ.
02:34
I have autism,

ืœื™ ื™ืฉ ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื,

my oldest son has autism,

1644
ืœื‘ืŸ ื”ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ืฉืœื™ ื™ืฉ ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื,
02:38
and both my kids and I love Minecraft,

ื•ื”ื™ืœื“ื™ื ืฉืœื™ ื•ืื ื™ ื›ื•ืœื ื• ืžืชื™ื ืขืœ ืžื™ื™ื ืงืจืืคื˜,
02:40
so I have to do something.
58
160455
1984
ืื– ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืžืฉื”ื•.
02:43
So I got myself a Minecraft server,

ืื– ื”ืฉื’ืชื™ ืœืขืฆืžื™ ืฉืจืช ืฉืœ ืžื™ื™ื ืงืจืืคื˜,
02:47
and I spent some time, built a little village with some roads

ื•ื”ืฉืงืขืชื™ ืงืฆืช ื–ืžืŸ, ื‘ื ื™ืชื™ ื›ืคืจ ืงื˜ืŸ ืขื ื›ืžื” ืฉื‘ื™ืœื™ื
02:50
and a big welcome sign and this guy and a lodge up on a mountaintop,

ื•ืขื ืฉืœื˜ 'ื‘ืจื•ื›ื™ื ื”ื‘ืื™ื' ื’ื“ื•ืœ ื•ื”ื‘ื—ื•ืจ ื”ื–ื” ื•ืฆืจื™ืฃ ื‘ืžืขืœื” ื”ื”ืจ,
02:53
and tried to make it inviting.

ื•ื ื™ืกื™ืชื™ ืœื’ืจื•ื ืœื–ื” ืœื”ื™ืจืื•ืช ืžื–ืžื™ืŸ.
02:55
The idea was pretty simple.
63
175563
1374
ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ื”ื™ื” ื“ื™ ืคืฉื•ื˜.
02:56
I had a white list, so only people that I approved could join,

ื”ื™ื™ืชื” ืœื™ ืจืฉื™ืžื” ืœื‘ื ื”, ื›ืš ืฉืจืง ืื ืฉื™ื ืฉืื™ืฉืจืชื™ ืœื”ื ื™ื›ืœื• ืœื”ืฆื˜ืจืฃ,
03:00
and I would just monitor the server as much as I could,
65
180392
2598
ื•ืื ื™ ืคืฉื•ื˜ ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืฉื’ื™ื— ืขืœ ื”ืฉืจืช ื›ืžื” ืฉื™ื›ื•ืœืชื™,

03:03
just to make sure that nothing went wrong.

ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ื”ื›ืœ, ื–ื• ื”ื™ืชื” ื”ื”ื‘ื˜ื—ื” ื›ื•ืœื”:
03:05
And that was it, that was the whole promise: to keep the kids safe
67
185061

ืจืง ืœืฉืžื•ืจ ืขืœ ื”ื™ืœื“ื™ื ื‘ื˜ื•ื—ื™ื ื›ื“ื™ ืฉื™ื•ื›ืœื• ืœืฉื—ืง.

so they could play.

ื›ืฉื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžื•ื›ืŸ, ื”ืœื›ืชื™ ืœืคื™ื™ืกื‘ื•ืง
03:09
When it was done, I went to Facebook

03:11
and posted a pretty simple message to my friends list, not publicly.
70
191150
3215
03:14
I wanted to see if there was any interest in this,

ื•ืื ื–ื” ื‘ืืžืช ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืขื–ื•ืจ.

A little while later, he'd do it again.

The other players asked him not to do that, and he'd say, "OK."

ื•ืื– ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืขื•ืฉื” ื–ืืช ืฉื•ื‘.

even though you did a little extra just for that one player.
