“so i figured out i’m nonbinary and pan and audhd…”
@Aphrodite @blausand @wakame @0xabad1dea still pretty sure I'm NT and ace and aro! honestly probably the biggest change is that I'd more readily describe myself as agender than as a cis man
thanks for the consideration I guess? not really sure what the social graces in this situation are. hope the last year or so has been treating you well
@Eunakria @blausand @wakame @0xabad1dea

@rolandelli @0xabad1dea the algorithm* here is more efficient at bringing us together.
* there is no algorithm, and we are not it.
Supported by (pesky) FACTS.

Image is from that, and it took it from this study:
I suggest searching for "Table 4" in the study at this link:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3620841/
"Young adults with an ASD had a higher proportion of majoring in STEM related fields (34.31%) than any other disability groups."
Table 4:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3620841/table/T4/
It's 34.31% of "disabled" students.
But also:
"… was not only higher than their peers in all 10 other disability categories, but also higher than the 22.80% of students in the general population …"
Little research has examined the popular belief that individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely than the general population to gravitate toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This study analyzed ...
The 11 "disability categories" for this comparison were:
ASD = autism spectrum disorder
LD = learning disabilities
SLI = speech/language impairment
ID = intellectual disabilities
ED = emotional disturbances
HI = hearing impairment
VI = visual impairment
OI = orthopedic impairment
OHI = other health impairment
TBI = traumatic brain injury
MD = multiple disabilities
@itsmeholland If you go through life with the attitude that just good enough is good enough, then you'll half-ass everything, including the vital forensics that make the difference between good choices and poor ones. Look around you. Look at the people in the world whom you're able to witness. How many of them are making poor choices, because thinking is just too hard, and they've decided it doesn't matter?
It really does matter. Habits matter.
@wesdym dude, it aint that deep lmao. Some things just matter less than other things. If I know what someone is saying to me, I'm not gonna give them a hard time because of their spelling. They might not speak my language naively. They might have a motor issue that they're doing their best with. They might have just made a bunch of typos.
The planet is getting hotter. Fascism is at the door. We've got multiple active genocides in the world. Correct spelling is JUST NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
@itsmeholland You really don't understand what I've said, though I'm sure you believe you do. You're not a deep thinker. You only interpret the surface level of what you read, and don't read 'through' text to discern the deeper meaning behind it. Like most people, you probably assume that everyone else is just like you. You interpret my writing like you'd interpret it if YOU wrote it. But you didn't. I did.
And your repeated whinging becomes spam. You severely lack self-awareness. Grow up.
@csolisr @0xabad1dea You absolutely *can* control yourself. It is not easy, it takes effort and dedication, but the same neurodiversity which makes social interaction hard generally gives you a lot of handy brain tools to think about how you are, what you know about how people have responded to your past actions, etc.
We do not handle social situations naturally, but we can handle them scientifically!
@0xabad1dea "this is the autism social network"
is this kind of shit that keeps me coming back here
