Good for her …but as you say “However drawing a general conclusion from a specific case is fraught with trouble.” I never was. It's just nice to see a modern day genius at work. We don't get too many in this country. Indeed.As long as we accept that one genius is no more a measure of how autism can contribute to society than one dysfunction cleaner. |

Maybe you would like a typical example of a typical autistic person and what happens if they apply for a job. It's enough to make your blood boil. You have stupid people telling someone who comes across as far more intelligent that there is a lot of competition, even for the lowest of the low jobs. This is after obtaining a degree and having previous work experience in a country they tell us they need to import millions of third worlders. The firms doing this are utter bastards and crooks. They should be prosecuted.

There are no typical examples of autistic people.

There are no typical examples of autistic people. Archive assistant was the job he was applying for. That's a very run-of-the-mill job compared to the atypical example I gave earlier with that mathematician. I believe the problems he faced were pretty universal in the mainstream job market.
Who are these fuckwits on the other end of the process? They seem like the type who screwed the postmasters. Liars and fakes in other words. They are those those who are less intelligent than the ones they judge.So how did they get the job?

I'm thinking of starting a discussion group locally called the 'Stroud Musketeers' As Stroud has the highest Per Capita income in Gloucestershire there's probably a few wealthy "resident aliens" about who might take an interest. Dale Vince, who is a multi millionaire, and lives locally, posted this on Twitter (X):
"This story has shocked me. If the NHS is really refusing to save the life of Will because of his autism, that is surely wrong? I’m autistic, many of us are - we are not lesser people for it".
He's referring to a case where the NHS wanted to stop giving an autistic teenager life-saving dialysis.
I've actually had a short conversation with Dale, without realising who he was. He said hello to me in the street. My "hippy" appearance seemed to have attracted his interest.

In the early sixties my brother was the only kid I knew that has asthma . In fact he was the only person . I knew that it existed but not everyone did .
Scroll forwards 20 years and everyone and their dog had ‘ asthma’..usually mild and usually equipped with an inhaler and usually not for long .
When I was 8 I developed hay fever. Just a handful in the school had hay fever . When I was in my late teens hay fever was quite rare. I was asked more than once if it was ‘ catching ‘.
Nowadays hay fever is a multi billion dollar pharmaceutical bonanza .
When I was a kid ,the kids that couldn’t read or right generally smelt of stale food and pissed themselves in class.
20 years later someone discovered Dyslexia and now the illiterates tell us they are usually cleverer than those who can read .
( That reminds me of the ones who people who struggle to pass their driving test telling anyone who will listen that they’re better drivers than first time passers .)
ADHD has turned into another billion industry too.
Now social misfits are lining up to claim to be ‘ autistic ‘. By that they can be both victims and elites at the same time .

You don't give reasons. Go back and watch the first two minutes of him giving reasons not to hire him. Maybe read the transcript . |

By the way, as an assistant archivist, how would you promote IT?

I think I’ve seen enough of your ‘ go figure ‘ video . The ‘ autistic ‘ person can’t even promote himself . |

If this wasn’t the mind zone I’d say that you were being bitchy because I reminded you of your pissy pant childhood but as it is , I won’t. |
