Of course they (we) are "on the spectrum". And it used to be fine- there were places for different people to excel well shielded from the others. Tech and science were always places for cold, unempathetic people more interested in things than in how others feel about them. Until everything became a social media magma in which everyone is more interested in how much empathy you can show towards puppies than in how good you are at your job. Fuck that. I'll say it again for clarity: tech and university used to be cosy places for unconventional people to be at their best shielded from those who mix their facts with their feelings. But now these have taken over and the feelings police is everywhere.
