Speaking as someone with Asperger's who considers himself both a good programmer and capable of navigating / leading cross-functional prioritization discussions

Speaking as someone with Asperger's who considers himself both a good programmer and capable of navigating / leading cross-functional prioritization discussions, and who likes knowing the context behind his work: maybe you should re-evaluate your assumptions about neuroatypical people.
(...and if you're indeed in a position where you're responsible for hiring decisions or performance reviews: strike "maybe" from the preceding sentence.)
- wpietri 7y agoAgreed. Non-neurotypical people may or may not need to approach understanding the context differently than neurotypicals. But it's not like we're incapable of understanding the context!
