better known online as "AutismFather."
как «Отец Аутизма».
a little bit today about Minecraft.
don't worry too much about it.
ничего страшного.
добиться нужной цели.
at the time to fill a need.
практически к любой ситуации.
to pretty much every situation.
I started a Minecraft server
я запустил Майнкрафт-сервер
and their families,
all around the world,
в новостях по всему миру:
the best places on the internet."
«одним из лучших мест в интернете».
of an award-winning research paper called
исследовательской работы под названием
Technology for Youth with Autism."
для помощи молодёжи с аутизмом».
about that research paper
a little bit of history
was playing Minecraft,
reaching out to other parents,
что родители спрашивают других о том,
could play together.
to play on public servers,
играть на общих серверах,
нападкам и преследованию.
a little differently sometimes,
вы ведёте себя немного иначе,
is all you really need
отличаться совсем чуть-чуть,
that they tried to make,
что дети пытались построить,
over and over again,
the part that really hurt the most,
would say to these kids.
some as young as six years old,
never wanted a broken child,
не нужен неполноценный ребёнок
from these servers angry and hurt.
с разочарованием и злобой.
they'd quite literally hate themselves,
буквально возненавидеть себя,
to do anything.
чем-либо сделать.
built a little village with some roads
с несколькими дорогами,
and a lodge up on a mountaintop,
домик на вершине горы и этого парня,
that I approved could join,
которые прошли моё одобрение,
the server as much as I could,
происходящее на сервере,
promise: to keep the kids safe
что дети находятся в безопасности
to my friends list, not publicly.
только в своей френд-ленте.
was any interest in this,
just how much this was needed,
настолько востребованной,
the hosting package eight times,
обновить хостинг восемь раз,
to the most expensive package they had,
который у них был,
from all around the world.
8 000 имён со всего мира.
today to talk to you
чтобы рассказать
a safe place to play.
для игр детей,
were learning to read and write
by sound, like most kids do,
как большинство детей,
spelling the same words properly
пишут правильно,
who said that their nonverbal children
but they were talking.
но говорили же.
for the first time ever.
завели друзей в школе.
even give things to other people.
с другими людьми.
and said it was because of Autcraft,
что это произошло благодаря Майнкрафту
just from a video game server?
research paper I was talking about.
о которой я упоминал.
I used when I created the server,
которые я использовал, создавая сервер,
people to be their very best.
for grown-ups without autism.
и для взрослых без аутизма.
should not be punished,
on the server act out,
дети ведут себя в игре неадекватно
in the day at school or home.
в школе или дома.
a miscommunication between two kids.
не поняли друг друга.
on the server that we're not mad,
to listen to their point of view.
выслушать их точку зрения.
everything they need
что у них есть всё необходимое,
on their own in the future
с будущими проблемами
because, you know, communication.
well, players are rewarded,
in a competition, right?
the better reward you get.
тем лучше награда.
does the work, the code is there.
всю работу делает код на сервере.
"Player of the Week" and "CBAs,"
как «Игрок недели» и «ПНК»,
based on the attributes they exhibit,
по их характеристикам,
who are friendly towards others,
кто дружелюбен к другим,
that are helpful towards others.
кто был полезен участникам.
для взрослых.
and how to earn these things
и как добиться такого ранга,
на нашем сервере,
to be rewarded for who they are
согласно тому, кем он является,
because I'm the founder,
так как я основатель,
you can't get in the game any other way
только если докажете,
the community above yourself,
превыше своих
is at the core of who you are.
лежат в основе вашей личности.
of those swords, actually.
таких мечей, знаете ли.
to make sure nothing bad happens,
плохого поведения в игре,
that happen and reward people for them.
происходящие там, награждая таких игроков.
to show all the players
to be equal, even me.
people equally to do that.
относиться ко всем одинаково.
выходят из себя.
struggles on top of autism,
of remembering all of the players.
the conversations we've had,
things they've built.
to me with a problem,
than I would with any other player,
в зависимости от игрока
we document everything
администраторов и помощников,
or a concerning conversation,
документируется,
of this one player.
spamming dashes in the chat,
посылать в чат пунктирные линии,
all the way across the screen.
not to do that, and he'd say, "OK."
и тот ответил «хорошо»,
or to punish him for breaking the rules,
или наказать за нарушение правил,
something more to it.
что-то большее.
the contact that I have for him.
указанной как контактное лицо.
he had gone blind in one eye
что мальчик ослеп на один глаз
was splitting up the chat
to a friend of mine who writes code
со своим другом, который пишет код,
plug-in for the server
any player on the server,
and instantly have every single line
и тут же отделить любую строку
asterisks or blank lines
или пустой строкой —
whatever works best for them.
and made it so it highlights your name,
имя игрока может подсвечиваться,
if somebody mentions you.
если оно упомянуто в чате.
doing a little bit extra,
как приложив немного усилий,
just for that one player.
and encourage and celebrate each other.
и поддерживаем всех.
to be the outcast
каково это — быть изгоем,
we're not afraid anymore.
и больше не боимся.
or so on the server,
on average that were suicidal.
которые были на грани самоубийства.
в безопасности и поэтому приходили.
I'm the one that made them feel safe.
in the world they could talk to.
с кем можно поговорить.
or some other organization,
или другой организации,
who is just doing your very best,
strip away those fears
развеять страхи этих детей
is going to feel forced
will always do better
feel safe and happy.
им спокойно и хорошо.
they don't even try to learn.
они даже не стараются.
on the server to describe the server.
дети описываю наш сервер:
безопасность, помощь...]
that you could take away
is going through in life right now,
через что им пришлось пройти,
at school or at home,
or even their gender,
в своей сексуальности, или даже поле, —
in the autism community,
или думают о самоубийстве —
come to and tell you.
in talking to you about it.
они расскажут вам об этом.
a group of autistic children --
на группу аутичных детей, —
are supposed to be antisocial
считает асоциальными
and build the most compassionate
такое сплочённое, дружелюбное
community you've ever seen,
которого вы ещё не встречали —
would write about
that they have to overcome to do that,
невероятные препятствия,
to have somebody there
the only thing they really have to fear
которой стоит бояться, —
такими людьми,
to please be that person for them,
