OK, let's be clear about #Autism:

A majority of engineers, including software engineers, are #ActuallyAutistic; I suspect a majority of architects and people who invent new stuff generally are; many people in the creative arts are.

Without #Autism, we would have no culture, and very few machines of any kind at all.

Autism is not a disease: it is an essential component of a healthy society, and should be celebrated as such.

(Yes, I am ANGRY about this)

It is the diversity of the human mind that has led to the evolution of thought.
