| I don't typically comment on things like this, though in this case I very, very much want to. My son is autistic. He's 8. We had him tested when he was 5. He also has ADHD. If ever anyone cares about working with non-NT folks and those on the spectrum it's me. We moved to where we live specifically so we could get early intervention for him. My five year old daughter might be on the spectrum, we are having her tested. She does have expressive/receptive language disorder. Our youngest daughter, now 2, seems NT so far. For the record on the original material. There's a chance the person was non-NT, as you suggest. However, that same percentage chance exists for at least three, maybe four, of his co-workers as well, the ones that were effected by this person. I'm not dismissing your original statement. I do think it is harder for non-NT folks, even in tech. It's why my style is the way it is. If anything, I'm likely overly sympathetic to the non-NT folks given my situation. I've written two other things that I often reference when talking about these topics that might be interesting. I hope you can appreciate my side knowing more about my personal situation and how that influenced and shaped my current views. https://medium.com/@jasonwarner/no-one-is-the-villain-in-the... https://medium.com/@jasonwarner/just-one-weird-trick-95fe7b5... |
