| I have worked with a number of programming languages over the years. My very first was C, though I barely studied it at the time (not long enough to learn pointers, for instance). Then I learned Java, in college I took a class using a LISP dialect called Scheme, then I learned Python, and then latel... |

| Have any of you felt like the push to make the perception of STEM fields as more inclusive sometimes make you feel MORE alone as an aspie? What I mean by that is, back when STEM, at least at advanced levels, was more of an "exclusive club", there was possibly more of a chance for aspies to... |

If so, while in the process of working on becoming healthier, how did you/have you kept the feeling of being total... |

| This thread has more or less made two things clear to me... One, the biggest problems with this are not what I thought they were -- rather, they are that it appears some / many of us with ASD can't even stand each other, and perhaps inherent to the condition, accounting for typical abuse by those w... |

| I've played it before. And I actually intend to someday try to write my own structure prediction software. Though at first at least it would almost have to be as a hobby. Alphafold is amazing, but it doesn't give much if any insight into how folding actually works since it's such a black box. That's... |

| Ok, good, that doesn't sound like "quantum woo" type stuff. It's not about how many people care about the results that determines whether I think it's "real" physics research or not, it's whether the work actually tries to explain real phenomena in a way that can then be used to ... |

It's not so much of a problem for a quick shopping errand, since the mask isn't on as long, but at work it can be quite a bother. On mine ... |

I also don't mean mild fluctuations due to general nutritional balance, like feeling less energy when you have a less substantial ... |

| I'd say they're a lot less common than male Aspies who haven't dated yet. Why? Because the dating market inherently favours women. Not to say it is easy for women dating - but the market value of a woman is a lot higher at baseline before 'extras' like salary, looks and so on are considered. What s... |
