Couple of weeks ago, my boss gave me a "promotion". Went on about how he had to clear it with the board, etc. It's a title change and 0.5% equity on a brand new 45 month vesting schedule with a new 12 month cliff. No cash money, I'm still making junior dev salary.

CEO tried to talk to me about it, it was the verbal equivalent of a pizza party. I just didn't engage at all, and the planned announcement to the whole team silently never happened.

Coincidentally, this happened a couple of days after I had updated my indeed resume with the same title they later "promoted" me to.

Job was fun at first, but the CEO is extremely confidently driving the company straight into the ground. Fake monopoly money isn't going to keep me on this sinking ship, my guy.

Why aren't you screaming about the various genocides and wars? Why aren't you screaming about every single injustice in the world all the time?

It's been this way for a couple thousand years

There's too many correlations that aren't common enough, I really think we've got the causality backwards. But then again I don't know anything

Absolutely none of that works on any modern search engine-- except kagi.

The naïve assumption is the spectrum is a binary more/less autistic. It very much is not.

Something like whatever mechanisms decode structure from the genome are faulty and produce slightly wrong structures throughout the brain and body.

Anecdotally, I see a higher rate of general illness and physical birth defects in autistic people.

There is debate within the autism community about ditching the catch-all term "autism", but I don't expect it to go anywhere. Broad labels like that are useful. I can tell a random person that I'm autistic and they generally understand that my "abnormal" behavior is innocuous. It's less useful to give a stranger a 30 minute lecture on my individual needs and challenges.

Read up on the controversy around asperger's and the "high/low functioning" dichotomy. These were standard measures for a long time and have only been dropped in the last ten years or so.
