You've probably read about some differences that show up on a population level (just like there are with ADHD) but it's not a diagnostic tool.

It feels like some people just say things these days. Research shows that autism and ADHD are highly comorbid, I forget the exact numbers off the top of my head but they're something like ~50% of autistic people having ADHD, and ~20% o

I think you mean the full diagnostic process? Screening is just the first step in (what should be) a long process to decide whether the full workup makes sense. Screening takes on the order of minutes to an hour and it doesn't come wit

Terrible examples, Github and Google aren't just websites that one would place behind Cloudflare to try to improve their uptime (by caching, reducing load on the origin server, shielding from ddos attacks). They're their own big t

The US spends more money on healthcare than any other country (per capita and in PPP-adjusted terms), with the lowest life expectancy out of all of its peers [1]. Make of that what you will, but that tells me that after cutting out all the

You can't just ignore the money people are spending on healthcare right now. Every expenditure on private healthcare (insurance, copays, etc.) would be collected as tax going forward. That would be roughly $10-$20k annually? Many more

I'd even argue that it's predominantly a negative experience outside of the social media circles that often glorify it. In my experience it often creates an unbearable internal conflict where you're acutely aware that you rea

Yes in my experience "attention deficit" is a misnomer. It's not a deficit in ability to pay attention, it's a chronic inability to exert meaningful control over it to the point that it negatively affects your life in a

No they're not, people have irrational reactions to things all the time, especially under stress. Getting startled, panicking, and fleeing is definitely one of those. People will confess to crimes they didn't commit if the police

You don't need to be chasing them on the road. Attach a GPS tracker to the car and follow it with drone, collect surveillance footage and arrest them once they come to a stop.

Hmm, that doesn't sound right. Many homes don't use these heat pumps for cooling in the summer because getting convectors and plumbing installed is just as expensive as getting a separate AC, and then you have some redundancy in t

It's not that simple though, Zig has equivalent spatial memory safety which prevents issues that are pretty consistently among (or at) the top of the list for most dangerous vulnerability classes. And while I don't have enough exp
