I think I found out why Notch sold Minecraft.

I have an 8 year old Son who plays Minecraft with his friends almost every day.  He details to me his experience with the game all the time and its crazy the things that come up from those discussions (mostly him talking and me sort of listening.  Even if it was not just kids, I have seen many QA sessions like this where people would ask the oddest questions.  When it kids it just goes to another level because what is important to them is not the same as it is for adults.

If my child asked a group of adults how many of them had autism, ... I'm not going to finish that sentance.

Possibly the kid was autistic himself and wanted to relate to the developers of a game he likes a lot on that issue. The question was not malicious. I find the rreaction to the question to be much more disgusting to be honest, as if autism is some horrible blight that you shouldn't ask people about.
