[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know jack sh*t about the "remarkable" skills of this community.[/quote] Why the hostility toward a group that is trying to increase employment opportunities? My autistic child is many years away from adulthood/employment, but coding is an excellent match for his skills (as I can tell now). I'm sure it won't work for everyone -- nothing is a good fit for everyone -- but it seems like a great idea.[/quote] There is nothing inherent in autism that would make them any more suited for coding than the general population or SN population. It's not true that what was fomerly diagnosed as Aspergers means a kid is gifted. I find the description incredibly patronizing.[/quote]
