Autistic

Well, if you wanted to keep a thread going for the next decade, you picked the perfect title.

Don't worry. SJG will be here as soon as the library opens to tell you all about his #1 trigger word. And then every day after that until the San Jose Public Library staff pools their funds to hire a hit man.

Special Ed voice Yay!

I’d describe them as idiot savants.

^^^ or as SJGs case - just plain “idiots”

And of course the mentally disabled can be productive members of society with the right treatment and therapy

Alucard, I think, was diagnosed with autism. Or Asperger syndrome.

In my industry (software) autism is very common. I bet 60% of the people I work with day to day have autism to some degree. It’s weird as fuck, but after a while you get used to it. I used to work in IT where 60% off people are dumbshits. I don’t know which is worse, honestly.

It is great to hear of folks who are able to become contributing members of society. That is a difficult job, and it’s impressive to hear of how they can use certain skills to do that job!

I hope SJG doesn’t go all Falling Down on this discussion - with his views on certain folks.

Drew - when I was with AT&T in my younger days, there were stories of guys who worked at Bell Labs, who were brilliant intellects, but some would only walk backwards, or only wear certain colors. I was very curious to stroll the halls when I would be required to attend meetings at those facilities.

I think they weren’t only technologists, but I’m sure IT has a high percentage of functioning autistics.

Computer people are weird and anti social for yhe most part. What some of these tech companies do and the way they gentrify areas is disgusting to say the least.

And they're the types who go stalker on stripper hoes the most

@Cash: Bell Labs is legendary, this is where the best and brightest went back in the day. Those guys would have been ultra weird to compliment their ultra brilliance. Imagine the smell as well! Haha My dad was recruited to work there in the 60s, he went to build bombs for the navy instead. I wonder how that would have shaped him differently!

@icy: can’t disagree with any of that

I've seen what Google did to venice beach. Zappos to downtown Las Vegas. They suck the soul out of places

Same with Amazon here. At least Microsoft was out in the middle of nowhere, literally on the site of an old chicken ranch.

There is no such thing as Autism, it is a hoax. And that Rainman Autistic Savant type is refuted even within the Autism Movement.

^ I'm sure that no one saw that coming.

Autism is real. nimh.nih.gov

Your sex cult is a hoax.

That government agencies and medial schools support the idea is not the resolution to anything, it is the locus of the problem. The idea is being resurrected from the Nazi Eugenics Movement.

My Organization is perfectly real, though it is just in its infancy with only a handful of people and no legal incorporation yet.
