Autistic Devs

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 / Stories

We are open to allistic/NT folx providing feedback! However, it MUST be done with the knowledge and understanding that we are autistic and require a lot more assistance in the domain of social understanding.

Posts/Comments that AREN'T allowed:

• Posts that spread toxic masculinity - "man up", "be a man", etc.
• Posts that attack allistic folx or those with different neurodivegence.
• Posts that don't relate to an Autistic person's experience in software development, I.T., Infrastructure, or other tech focused roles.

If you are penning a response that includes a technical solution STOP!

Double check that the post asked for a technical solution - it likely doesn't. We recommend that technical questions go to their respective communities.
