Thanks! Typo fixed. And very interesting thoughts on the world becoming more social. I wonder if that's bringing not only more attention to autism, but also creating a more challenging dynamic. Though I also know people with autism who are absolutely thriving in technical roles, which were not available just a few years ago. And, for example, does a move from conferences and calls to more online tools (Slack, IRC) help, or does it make the social cues harder?

As best i can tell someone with autism may find things like Slack and IRC more comfortable, while those without may not. This because the removal of non-verbal cues is no issue to the former (less noise to deal with) while hindering the latter.
