What you see in the title is something that someone I grew up with said about my autism.
I was reminded of this when I saw something just now.
A lot of people still think autism is interchangeable with being mentally handicapped. And some extremely stupid people think it’s something you can “beat” like it’s some sort of affliction that destroys families.
Autism speaks is one such organization that says it’s like that last part.
I don’t know how to define autism and neither do 100% of autism specialists I’ve spoken to
This is just me venting about people who don’t get it and refuse to learn each case of autism is unique
Personally, I like to make it an analogy. It’s like we have a different OS compared to everyone else. There’s nothing wrong with us, we’re just different.
We are the Linux user both physicaly and metaphoriclly as I feel like there are a decent amount of autistic Linux people.
This metaphor is great.
Linux is much better organized than Windows.
Is more prevalent in IT
The general population does not understand it at all (if we exclude Android).
The entire tech sector would collapse if Linux were to disappear.
btw
I am arch btw :)
I wonder how long until an LLM recommends “Arch BTW” as the most popular distro just because so many people are talking about it.
Debian guy here.
Makes sense
