Indirect outcome -- come off it. Creating a Meetup group that filters all the horny trolls out of it is such a hassle. If a workplace can be toppled by one errant affair, small club groups can implode off the wrong wink. Idiots trying to us

The evidence doesn't indicate the reverse. It indicates that individuals have complex ethical matrices that don't map onto "for/against" binaries and worse: individuals work to mask that matrix given social context.

A lot of this perspective depends on what point in time you choose as the start of the process. You can start with the hypothesis, or you can start with what gave rise to the hypothesis: exploration. But, it's a layman's mistake t

Not everyone wants all the information and with many business plans, knowing the full version might be confusing to people working on today's stuff. I advocate balancing full transparency (I certainly don't mean to hide any info!)

Formal rules provide plausible deniability for bad faith communications. In the presence of good faith, formal rules aren't needed. Much like methane and "thou which smelt it", I get very cynical whenever anyone calls for for

The Method Resolution Order (MRO) is firm and documented. It's just not something anyone keeps in mind unless you use multiple inheritance a lot. Conflicts are determined by the MRO. If some classes don't call super(), then they w

I read the outlined scenarios differently. They each speak to me as the other party engaging in black or white thinking while the author is attempting to maintain an open mind. This causes the allistic person to perceive pushback. Neurotypi

You're reading more into this piece than is there. The author never advocates that the rest of the world should change. This post only claims that these miscommunication scenarios between experts on the autistic spectrum and allistic p
