What does autism have to do with it?
- thenaturalist 1y agoCheck the parent comment.
- georgebcrawford 1y agoOh! I've long struggled with the narrow indents on Hacker News comments. I thought this was a reply to OP. Thank you.
- dimal 1y agoAutistic people tend to have very different sensory sensitivities than neurotypical people. Most are very highly sensitive and tend have trouble picking out a signal when there’s too much noise around it. To me, being socially awkward is kind of a secondary, less important trait, but that’s the one everyone seems to notice. We’re weird on the outside because inside, we’re dealing with overwhelming sensory input.
- georgebcrawford 1y agoWhoops, I didn't see parent comment and thought the reply was to the submission. It seemed massively out of context but absolutely wasn't :-) Curse HackerNews' narrow indents!
