Hi. I'm a 59 year old man with Level 1 autism. My 56 year old sister and 20 year old daughter also have Level 1 autism. We play Bedrock Minecraft together along with a very small group of friends. My sister lamented the fact that we didn't have more women players because she had had a bad day at work and had spent a couple of hours having a frustrated cry and wished that she had women gamers she could play and chat with. We recently added the 10 year old daughter of a friend. We are a very safe realm.

We play cooperative survival creatively. The realm is in regular survival mode but we play together and help each other. We don't PVP other than occasional sibling on sibling teasing. We move to an area of the realm and build an anchor base then other players move to the rea and build bases. We play in an area until we've tapped it out then we move to a new area together.

We're interested in finding realm members to play with us. Women gamers are safe and respected in our realm. We are LGBTQ+ friendly.

We are intolerant of trolls, fascists, racists, sexists, and biggots.

If this sounds like something that might interest you send me a DM. I will send you a Discord invitation and you can say, "Hello" to my sister.

Thanks. I wrote a note to the mod of the realm because I am a man and didn't want to post to the community without their permission. They gave it and I just posted.
