getting nerds to give a shit about people who aren't neurotypical & able-bodied middle+ class white tech boys is the hardest problem in computer science

@quine Which is of given a huge percentage of them are on the spectrum

@Canageek
just because you're on the autism spectrum doesn't mean the stuff you're making is automatically accessibile to all non-neurotypical people. see: Linux being completely fucking inaccessible to people with adhd

@quine Not sure what you mean by that? I have ADHD and find Linux great...

@Canageek
because Linux people are obsessed with long difficult to understand man pages and directing people to really big long wiki articles and expecting users to read a lot

@quine That isn't usually a problem with ADHD? At least not mentioned in any of them help groups I've been in.
