Because writ large we are all under staffed and it we need to cut something it’s QA.

Good.

Cheap.

Fast.

Businesses have shown time and time again they choose cheap and fast. Good is a problem for the future.

MVP baby!

Omg this is hilarious

My gut says you’re overly optimistic lol

People need to understand that when a tech company is “disrupting” it means they’re exploiting legal loopholes.

YATTA!

Please don’t but pay attention to your support group as you move forward. You will learn there are a lot of people that genuinely care about your child and their future. The irony of course is the vast majority of these people make little to no money and are doing what they do because they love it.

Oh yeah those parents who make it their identity are weird AF.

Both my boys stim verbally with my youngest being “worse” at is. The balance is teaching them awareness and also time and place.

From a diagnosis and classification, Autism = Asperger’s.

From a lived experience, Autism != Asperger’s.

The latter has been validated by every expert I have talked over the years from doctors to therapists to education.

The more you understand the better you can help. You’ve made the first and most important step. I’m extremely passionate about this and you will find many around you are also passionate. I’m a grown ass dude and 46 and could cry.

Talk to their teachers as they get older. The best thing you can ever do is diagnose. There are so many kids in the school system parents bury their heads and it hurts everyone.

If you ever want to talk I’m almost a decade into my autism journey. Started at 3 and my son is now 11.

As a parent of two kids on the spectrum my messaging has been just this with a resounding “there are legions of autistic people that are NOT represented. Ever.”

Every representation of autistic people you see in the media, or chatting with online are the exception and the fact that they collectively shit on the fact that there are many isolated and struggling is goddamn frustrating.

If you’re autistic and on Lemmy I’m proud of you. My youngest son can’t manage his own diabetes, can’t wipe his ass, needs help showering, has worsening anxiety and ADHD. I could go on.

As a parent I’m supposed to defer to that representation in the media or on Lemmy because “they’re autistic bro.” disgusts me.

My final takeaway. Fuck the DSM V for making Asperger’s the same as Autism. It isn’t. It hurts both parties but I’d argue it hurts Autistic people far more than Asperger’s people.

As a parent of 2 children on the spectrum I need to give you a well thought out “fuck you” in response.

My experience online is a lot of you “champions” for autism are only speaking for yourselves and those like you, which is to say the ones that have some means of independence be it verbally, physically or emotionally. I have one son like that. He’s Asperger’s. He will have challenges, but he will live a long and productive life with all the proper tools. My other son is your “traditional” autistic. He is thankfully verbal but at this point there is no plan for him to be independent ever. As parents we hope for the best and take every day at a time.

To assume that our opinions and decisions are derived as “making about ourselves” is part of the problem. Everything I have done since his birth has been to NOT make it about myself.

The last thing I need is people like you punching down because you can’t look past your own goddamn nose.

Unrelated but pooping ok?

You’re wrong but I’ll bite. What 2 songs lol.

And I’m joking with the you’re wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Americans and clutching at pearls name a better duo lol

We notice you watch a lot of interracial porn which means you’re good with a diverse and multicultural work environment. LMFAO

The other angle is the majority of Devs are just… Not good…

A good Dev in the situation you mention will design the solution needed now not the one you hope for later.

I’m saying this as someone who has been mired in scope creep and over engineering solutions many times in my life because “what if 5000 people need to use it at once?!”

In most cases all you need is a database, a single thread and a simple API. Build it and then as the problems come grow with them. Try to take into account issues of scale but realize you can’t and shouldn’t solve every scenario because there are too many variables which may never exist.

Every day we stray further from God’s light lol

I’ve Benin fights before but this is stupid.

Grenada go and do that now aren’t you? Typical!
