| With the rise of the far right globally, I would prefer you didn't research this, regardless of what truth there may be. They will label us as "cavemen" and have as removed from the gene pool. If you do continue, brand it differently, just refer to genetic sequences and don't say Neanderth... |

| I think, given that some of the inherent problems caused by autism reduce our ability to be socially influential that it's unlikely we as a group are going to find ourselves socially dominant. I mean, it's not impossible though. History has a lot of examples of pretty weird social outcasts becoming... |

| If all you're after is to be the one doing the oppressing you don't have anything serious to offer. Yeah that's a fair if pretty vacuous statement that I mostly agree with. Look I feel like I have dug myself into a hole here, I didn't mean that either. All I was saying was that we could use a more ... |

| Oh sure...autistics should just do like the Spanish Conquistadors and conquer and enslave all NTs because NTs all live in the Stone Age and dont yet have muzzle loading muskets. Lol! Baha, exactly! So, this isn't what one might describe as a serious thought? Only in the sense of cosplay. Please don... |

Exactly, you can't simply say minority = powerless.
Those guys also didn't start out that way.
Through clever strategizing Autistics can become a respected powerful force. |

| Just sort of thinking out loud here, and as I go I realise I was wrong, but I will write some ideas out anyways. Firstly the way I operate successfully in the past is to have a set goal, quickly learn related theory, design a solution, implement the solution. I don't distinguish between any one fiel... |

| Most of these guys are hacks, selling the idea that you need to "appeal to everyone" to "get a lot of chicks". This is a terrible life philosophy and a terrible attitude for an autistic, due to the highly monotropic (one topic) way we think. We should only learn to manage for tho... |

| At the end of the day applications always depend on others after you send the form or do the interview, so being stressed wont help. In other words, focus on what you can control, sleep, eat well, and send in more applications. I personally was in your situation a year ago, and I just gave up comple... |
