How have capybaras not been added to Minecraft yet?

Autcraft has just added the 19,000th name to the list of approved players and there's still plenty more to go. Thank you all for playing, and for supporting us, and believing in what we are doing. We appreciate you so much! #autism #Minecraft #Community #support #Christmas2025

When you see "facts" being shared on big social media accounts, remember, not only did they not fact check, they likely made stuff up, even the images. Below is the real photo I sent to @cbcnews.ca and the other two are AI generated images that social media accounts made from it.

Autcraft, Social Media, and an Important Lesson. Misinformation isn't always "lies", sometimes it's a distorted and twisted truth over time and many rewrites. #autism #Mincraft #Misinformation www.patreon.com/posts/144242...

Uhh... what?

I was diagnosed as autistic at 36 years old. I often wonder... who could I have been?

Annual Halloween reminder: If someone comes to your door for candy, give them some. It doesn't matter what age they are, what they look like, if they have a costume, if they can say "trick or treat" or not... give them candy. Don't judge. Be kind. Make them happy.

"Kids don't need safe spaces. They need to face the real world." says the tough guy in his khakis, beer in hand, at the BBQ, surrounded by his best buds, with whom he can share things that he doesn't feel safe talking to anyone else about.

How exactly does this guy think autism enters the brain? And where does he think people's brains are?

"There was no autism in my day." Sure there was but back then you called people the r-word, slow, unfocused, anti-social, weird, freak, or any number of other derogatory terms. Or you just didn't see them at all because they were separated off into other classes or institutions.

I decided to write a bit today about why I, as an autistic person, have a unique appreciation for KPop Demon Hunters. I, too, have tried to hide my patterns and the colors in my head. My demons are a part of me and I need to accept that. www.facebook.com/autismfather...

I am honoured and filled with sense of imposter syndrome as I see myself being shared in an author spotlight. I am very happy to have been given a chance to contribute and share what I've done. I think we all have the potential to change the world. www.instagram.com/p/DPUIbIdivX9

The next time some idiot tells you "girls can't be gamers", or whatever sexist nonsense they give you, remember that this woman gave birth, via c-section, and then won a Mortal Kombat tournament 5 days later... WHILE HOLDING HER NEWBORN! www.dexerto.com/mortal-komba...

If your government is declaring war on anti-fascists, I have some bad news for you.

Many top scientists are on the autism spectrum. So technically, autism causes Tylenol.

The only way you can blame Tylenol for being autistic is if one of your parents happens to be named Tylenol.

Regardless of what the current US administration would like you to believe, autism is NOT caused by Tylenol, which first came on the market in 1955, while autism was first described in 1911. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... (a short thread)

Regardless of what the current US administration would like you to believe, autism is NOT caused by Tylenol, which first came on the market in 1955, while autism was first described in 1911. Do NOT let this group incite fear, spread misinformation, and do NOT let them hurt you.

Exploring Minecraft’s potential as a therapeutic tool, Rivera notes, follows a guiding principle in mental health, to “meet people where they are.” mindsitenews.org/2025/09/10/m...

Is it "trust issues" if people give you a very good reason not to trust them?

What if the future of technology was designed with empathy at its core? Listen to this 2 part podcast interview featuring myself and many other brilliant people discussing the future of technology and our children. www.trickleupdesign.com/podcast/n0he...

Accurate?

Anhedonia Life is pretty heavy these days, a lot of us are struggling, we're doing a lot more surviving than actual living. If you find it difficult to really enjoy the things you used to enjoy, it may be because of anhedonia. It's not just you.

Yeah, probably.

Do you think Reed Richards, of the Fantastic Four, could be on the autism spectrum? Personally, I can see it. What do you think?

Autistic people never forget.

Outside has nice graphics.

As I complete another interview with someone doing their thesis/dissertation, I realize this is becoming more popular. Before Autcraft, people wrote about limiting screen time but now countless papers are about the benefits of video games and online play for autistic people.

Somehow, my time at the computer is even more productive when I spend the majority of my time not at it. I met this family having a relaxing nap by the lake today.

While telling friends about how extremely low I've been feeling lately, @bingoindigo.bsky.social (💜) doodled this as I spoke. This right here is a great way to show you care, and appreciate, and support a friend. It didn't take a long time or a ton of effort, but it really, really helps.

I have a meeting with Will Wright in a couple of days... he's the legendary game designer behind SimCity and The Sims. I'm nervous but excited, and there's so much that I want to say. If you could ask Will Wright one question, what would it be?

It's Autcraft's 12th Anniversary!! What started in 2013 as just a place to feel safe and have fun, Autcraft has become a place of change, of positive influence, a leading example of what autistic people can do when we come together and care about each other.

A rainbow is not meant to be kept in a closet.

I hate that "ghosting" has become a thing for people to hate. I'm not ghosting you, I'm recharging my social battery, or taking a mental health break, or screaming into the void, or I wrote out a response and never hit send, or I just hate your guts. You never know, but I am not ghosting you.

It's Pride Month!!

Just a reminder, if you can start referring to the new Pope by his chosen name after becoming Pope, then you can do the same for trans people.

My fear is that RFK Jr's registries and attacks on autistic people will cause less people to seek a diagnosis or speak up, and when autism rates begin to decline as a result, they'll claim that as a victory and use that to justify removing vaccines entirely.

Autism isn't new just because you've never heard of it before. The % of people being autistic isn't increasing, we're doing a better job of diagnosing people. There is no epidemic. We've always been here. Be accepting, not scared.

I picked up some cheap Easter candy today, after Easter, as I do every year. Anyone else go stock up when it's on sale after the holiday?

Happy Easter!!! Autcraft is hosting an Easter Egg hunt on the 19th and 20th... 10 decorative player heads are available! Also, players who sign on during the 20th will get a special Easter Dragon Egg in their inventory! Finally, there's a 50% off sale in our store until Tuesday!

People angry about RFK Jr's comments on autism are missing the point, his mission is to make you sick. Casting doubts on vaccines is the best way to do that. They know most people won't believe the things he says, but enough people will to not vaccinate and jeopardize herd immunity.

I've started a _very unofficial_ discord server where some mojang developers and modders are discussing the rendering overhaul that Minecraft java edition is going through. It's free for all to read (though it's likely quite technical 😅), but only relevant modders can speak. discord.gg/eWmK8p565c

It looks like Time Magazine is reissuing their special editions but with new covers. That means that if you missed getting the Time Magazine with me and Autcraft in it, you have a second chance now.

This is basically what it feels like with the USA and Canada right now.

I am proudly Canadian. This does not mean that I do not value other nations or the people from those nations, or the partnerships with those nations... it just means that Canada is my home and I value it dearly.

I'm just going to leave this right here.
