> I have vivid memories of that time — my self-image had been wrapped up in being “a good programmer”, and here I was just hideously failing. I lost sleep. I had these little panic attack episodes.
I don't understand these people. If I'm in a situation where I am way above my estimate, I just accept that the estimate was wrong and make sure I make constant progress. It will get done when it will get done.
Maybe you are streaming at twitch too for donations? I bet many would subscribe to a blind gamer. Just be sure not to react to stuff on the screen or you will be banned.
Um, not to hate or anything, but there is a reason it is called autistic syndrome. Autistic people lack the ability to form a "theory of brain", which means they just do not understand other people's intentions that well. You can't ignore this fact and hope it will go away.
Aspergers is a relatively minor form of autism. (Not that the effects on one's life are always "minor", but it's minor compared to e.g. folks with severe autism that require assisted living)
All cases are different, but those with Aspergers can learn to understand others with effort. It's not impossible for them, it just doesn't come very naturally and will perhaps require extra effort and dedication.
It's definitely wider but I wouldn't say JohnBooty has tunnel vision. He was just responding to p6v53as's comment which was about understanding people.
I scored one point less than the minimum to be considered in the Asperger spectrum, and I hadn't had any "symptom" in my infancy, so I wouldn't be surprise if you already had hired an Aspie without knowing.
I was very surprised when I took it too. And I just did it after my son was diagnosticated with PDD-NOS. So I guess it is true it has a genetic component :)
"The issue the Indian court had with Gleevec patent application is that it only rearranged the molecule in a new crystal pattern"
...in other words the American patenting system is more corrupted than India's. Reading again my last written sentence I can not but awe - I never thought I might ever compare America with India and find something less corrupt in the last one!
So the problem with bitcoins is that it can be harder to evade taxes and buy illegal stuff? I don't know how it is in USA, but where I live it would be very useful feature of currency. However I remain unconvinced even of the arguments that it could be traced.
