    As a software dev, any code library named SimpleWhatever or whose documentation contains the word “simply” anywhere makes me afraid.

    Because they never are. They are a sign that whoever makes them thinks the subject is too hard to understand.

    The end result is a code library that doesn’t make the inherent important hard parts organized and clear to work with, but obfuscates them.








  • Where does that headline phrasing come from? The study does not, and does not claim to, pinpoint anything for autism.

    They use mice bred for hypersensitivity, and look at which parts of those mice’s brains can be suppressed to reduce measured sensitivity to heated floors and electric shock.

    They use “mice models of autism” to get an indication of where to maybe start looking on the slim chance it turns out to be similar in humans.

    The mouse model may turn out to be a different kind of hypersensitivity altogether. Human brains may wire hypersensitivity very differently. The observed results may be that the mice’s reactions are different instead of weaker. Etc…

    It is valid science, but a long shot away from a long shot at being applicable for autism in humans.

    Here!

    It’s a really good match for “complex creative” careers. Like (high end) software development, maths, startups, skunkworks etc.

    New and scary problem: Raaah!

    ADHD: Ooh, new! enter manic mode

    ASD: I’m gonna repeatedly smash my brain into this problem and see who breaks first. I will read about it, watch videos, try to solve smaller versions, try to solve it stupidly and see if that works and why not, talk everyone’s ear off about it… special interest activate
