A community for devs on the Autistic spectrum. This is primarily a “safe space” from other communities on programming.dev that would rather tell us to “man up”, than provide any reasonable social advice. Posts that belong in this community include: - Venting - Seeking Advice - Personal Experiences /...
After not getting what I needed out of a "managing up" post, I decided to create this community. Essentially the problem is that often we need to solve a social problem that others might deem "trivial". And when folks deem it trivial, they fail to provide anything except encouraging words.
This community will try to bridge that gap.
NTs / Allistics are very welcome, BUT they must understand that we need details, we need patience, and we need kindness around matters of business politics and office socializing.
