My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

@fiend_unpleasant @fesshole That's actually a really unkind thing to say.

@crazyeddie @fiend_unpleasant @fesshole why, do you see autism as something bad?

@lizzard @crazyeddie @fesshole I have never seen autism as bad. However, I do see at there are some jobs that near perfect for certain types of autism. Database Engineers are often "spreadsheet autists" that found a good way to use that special skill they have to their advantage financially.

I was just unwilling to discuss it with some queef who was offended and wanted to make it my problem without creating a dialogue like you have here.

@fiend_unpleasant @crazyeddie @fesshole yeah, I meant them. I got what you were trying to say, and totally agree: the IT world has more than the average proportion of autistic people.

@lizzard @crazyeddie @fesshole Ope, I'm usually the one being questioned. Carry on then.

@lizzard @fiend_unpleasant @crazyeddie @fesshole IT department where i work is majority neurospicy. not all diagnosed, but some of them are kind of obvious? (i'm an autist myself.)

personal take: hire us for IT! we're good at it!
