Concerned by his 13 year old son's obsession, Jolyon Jenkins set out to learn more about the computer game, Minecraft.

On his journey, Joylon met Amanda Osborne who has created and runs a server specifically for autistic children to protect her son, and others like him, from 'griefers'. Griefers are players who deliberately destroy property, and are essentially virtual bullies.

But on this server, the children can build their world's, make friends and develop important social skills that they can take into the real world. Amanda says, "There was one child who used to play on our server and he wouldn't talk to anyone, except for his Mum, brother and grandparents, and now in school he's talking to a whole class"
