There's been a lot of talk about autism close to home, lately.

 

[Kaveman]

April was Autism Awareness month. Definitely a broadly misunderstood topic that could use more broad discussion. It's possible that as much as 30% of the population is on the autisim spectrum.

Which means the spectrum is way too broad and way too easy to use as an excuse for just being an idiot.

Some people are opposite, social and have no mech ability...think salesman.

Yeah, lot of people feel the need to ‘be‘ something or other, make them more interesting, at least to themselves.

Interesting, I’ve been in sales, some of it pretty tough cold calling.
Some of the best ones were bereft of any sort of embarrassment, completely unaffected by repeated rejection, never saw it affect them.

If someone is actually autistic, it's no joke. Speaking with over 47 years experience.

Who’s joking?

 

[SeanKroll]

I think everyone is on the spectrum...some are on the spectrum to the point that it is causing significant enough difficulty to be 'a disorder'.




It seems that spectrum is associated with things in somewhat of a linear fashion, Left to Right, or whatever. Spectrum doesn't seem to deal with things in complex dimensions.

 

[Dave Shepard]

You are only on the autistic spectrum if you are autistic. The spectrum is very specifically not linear. There may be certain things that suggest autism, but no two autistic people fit the same criteria. When, in my case, you spend over 40 years not having a diagnosis, finally having something to explain your life experience is literally life changing. And it's just a diagnosis, an explanation, not an excuse. Unfortunately, many people do use it as an excuse for their bad behavior.
