The irony of an organization bullying a non-neurotypical person by calling him "ableist"...

People on the autism spectrum and/or with ADHD will not be able to survive in the near future. The world is too sensitive to the types of mistakes they make while simultaneously being ignorant of their cause.

Hmmm, time to switch? Debian kowtowing to the woke mob. The antithesis of free.

It's entirely possible for a neuro-atypical person to be ableist, just as it's entirely possible for a black person to be racist or a woman to be misogynist. It happens.

I have yet to see a black person who hates black people. Or a misogynist woman, for that matter.

These organizations should stick to professional opinions or just abstain. What's next? That CEO had 3 divorces and was rude to me, so he's not fit to manage a software organization?
