Hi, I'd like to share a bit about me and why I'm here. I'm a PhD student at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland (UK) and I'm researching how autistic teens learn to play Minecraft. I'm a neurodivergent mom and my teenage son is autistic. I went back to University to research how I can help him best. So, here I am.
I knew about Autcraft through my son and I asked AutismFather if I could conduct my research here, and he said yes. Everything I do and share has been approved by AutismFather.
What do I aim to achieve with my research?
I want to highlight how learning can be fun when it's done right. Autcraft is an amazing place, where learning happens naturally, through friends helping each other, and where it feels good to simply be there.
Because it is a serious research I need to follow some rules to protect you and your information, therefore you need to give me your consent. For that, I created a very short form online where I also ask you a few questions about video games.
