Last Wednesday evening Kris Nova had a climbing accident and died.

All of us that loved her are heart broken and stunned. She was an amazing person that lived out loud and built connection and community wherever she went. She will be horribly missed.

This absolutely sucks.

Kris and I worked together only briefly on a small hack project, but everything about them was exactly what you'd imagine in a forward-thinking community leader and technologist.

I'm deeply saddened for those who knew Kris well, and hope some solace is found in knowing that their contributions left the world a brighter place.

Calling all autistic people assholes is very worthy of being blocked and banned

Apologies, that's not what I intended to say, and not what I said to her either.

It's unfortunately true that my behaviour (and the behaviour of many autistic people) can be easily characterised as being an asshole, and vague rules do not help us function.

The condition is very much characterised by being unable to understand social cues.

I really was trying only to be helpful and got quite hurt in the interaction.
