A Boy Made of Blocks

Author: Keith Stuart

Although this is a novel it is based on the real experience of the author and his son. Stuart is a video game reviewer and reporter and he has a son who is on the autism spectrum.

The author noticed how much his son enjoyed watching the video games he was reviewing. When he got to Minecraft he could see how it was allowing for changes in his son’s behaviour.

My grandchildren all played (or maybe they still do play) Minecraft but at that time I had no clue about what they were doing. After reading the book I think I understand the concept of the game much better.
