beast 1,884 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 There do seem to be a lot of autistic people working in IT. Perhaps there brain function makes it easier for them to have the necessary skills or perhaps it is a career where they don't need to interact socially so much. There is an autistic woman called Temple Grandin who has become very big in the livestock industry designing restraint devices abattoirs etc and her special angle is hat only autistice people can think how animals do so the rest of us are not capable of working with livestock in the same way. I have looked into her work and you be honest she has designed some good stuff but any highly experienced skilled stockm an would do the same. So her skills are not related to her autism but she thinks they are. Or am I being cynical if I suggest she has deliberately created this idea as a marketing ployour? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 13,186 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Anyone remember that documentary with that autistic lad who learnt Icelandic in a week, properly fuucked with everyone head that lad ? Savants they call them and they found in some studies that their brains had a weird ways of operating. For example in one group the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, were massively overkill compared to the majority of people on the planet. In another their brains worked separately as the connections were very weak and few and far between. Both produce high levels of intelligence but for the most part it was locked inside them.

WILF 47,353 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hucknall for me I hate that sleazy c**t, you can just imagine the prick in one of those gentrified Manchester canal bars on a bank holiday in an unbuttoned shirt and leather trousers , ginger piss tank out running his hands through his hair like a saluki in an oil spill, making "call me"signs at chicks or "watching you" fingers Utter prick in high heeled dealer boots I'd love to kick his balls up his back midway through a perroni , pour the rest over him and set the c**t alight whilst saying "a new flame has come mick" As you can see I've thought about this He would do you in you Headly Court 100m bronze medalist !!
