Industry attitudes have changed quite a bit over the past 15+ years I've been around it. Engineers from failed startups were actually pretty popular to hire after the initial dotcom bust, with the theory that they would recognize mista

I'd suggest that moving around (internally or changing employers) usually requires someone to learn new things. People with long tenures in a single company can also learn new things, but it may not be a job requirement - they have to

I don't think it's always assumed, and I would absolutely agree that someone who has moved around as an internal consultant who may be building things for different parts of the business (some firms might call them SWAT teams or f

I'm in my early 40's, but I've recruited software engineers for almost 20 years and I until recently I ran a large Java Users Group over 15 years, which gave me quite a bit of exposure to an older range of engineers. I know m

Excellent points, and I'm not necessarily condoning the practice (I don't control that). It does seem they are trying to call a bluff where you either expose the bluffer or get locked in to a rate above market. I can't recall

I've been recruiting engineers for almost 20 years, and I have probably had a dozen cases where a client asked for a pay stub around the time an offer is presented. It's obviously rare, and most of the time it was for high-ticket

I recommend to candidates I work with to update their resume every 6 months - 18 months (depending on your employer's project timelines). If you find yourself consistently struggling to add things to your resume, whether those are new

There was a similar story relating to Java updates and Ask toolbars in 2013. There is some history to this. http://www.zdnet.com/article/a-close-look-at-how-oracle-inst...

I had similar questions when we were presented the opportunity to adopt a newborn. She is now 10 days old, and she has felt like mine ever since I first saw her minutes after her birth. Perhaps my experience is unique, but I didn't exp

We can take this offline if you'd like (my email is in my profile), but the problem is your experience sections are a mess. You've got experience with two employers listed without dates, then you go into a highlights section which

I just wouldn't mix entry-level and expert in any resume. Just that sentence alone would at least make me consider dismissing a candidate - why is an expert seeking entry-level work, and why does someone seeking entry-level work feel t

The resume isn't good, but you appear to be employable. I definitely wouldn't lead off the resume with the word "Expert", unless you want to invite senior level engineers to try and take you down a notch with some diffic

No, didn't view it as condemnation at all. My response was due to a couple things. One, some people feel the restrictive diet punishes in that you may have to take away a favorite food. We did have to do that, but my wife had the time

Regarding diet and stress - we started with diet about seven years ago. She was a very picky eater and we kept the snacks she liked in one cabinet, and when she wanted something she would come take your hand and drag you to the cabinet. If

I've read similar stories, and if I remember it was often QA. Those with autism may be more likely to prefer repetitive tasks, and will have a high attention to detail that might be useful in QA work.

There are many studies about autism and GI issues over several years. Parents of ASD children take heat for trying various things to help their kids, including diets. There are several diets that have helped some kids, but as you wrote auti

The fact that you've been downvoted is one of the main issues with the understanding of autism by the world at large (those not in the autism community). There is considerable research into the connection between gastrointestinal issue

There are some tell-tale signs to be aware of in children or infants. Lack of speech, lack of eye contact, non-reactive to environment (seems deaf), no pointing. Repetitive behaviors and obsessions/compulsions can start to show early a

I used to live in PA, and I think the level of care depends on the county you live in. As you get farther from the Philly suburbs your experience may change. Different counties will have different intermediate units.

DSM-IV came out over 20 years ago (revised in 2000) and DSM-V came out in 2013. I don't think we are expecting a new DSM for some time now. Under DSM-V, Asperger's was rolled into ASD and lost it's classification as a subcate

Actually, the reason the therapist (and almost all therapists for young children) won't answer that question is because outcomes have so much variation. I'm privy to the stories of many kids with autism (because I have one, and we

Those classified as on the 'upper end' of the spectrum may be less apt to seek an official diagnosis due to the potential for stigma. Parents of low-functioning children want an autism diagnosis as it allows for services in school

They usually start with ABA (applied behavior analysis) and perhaps occupational therapy and speech therapy. It's fairly intensive at an early age because early intervention can make a huge difference. Therapists are coming in and out

One of the biggest issues with identifying cause (and many other topics around autism) is that we apply the term "autism" to a wide range of individuals. You have some who are incredibly high-functioning that qualify primarily due

I can't speak for adults, but many children with autism seek pressure and need various sensory input. Brushing isn't all that unusual, and some kids actually will request brushing. There was a time when my daughter would bring bru
