Did she intentionally use the word disclude to make linux autists mad?

Fun. I didn't grow up issuing a Mac, not did I grow up using Windows.... Nor Linux.

When I started on computers, we used DOS.

I'm old.

I'm not old enough to remember punch cards, I was solidly in the x86 generation, but still.

For the record, I do IT support now. I'm the one that helps you with your printer.

Can we stop throwing around "autistic" for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It has nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things than that.

Autism is a spectrum. Some autistic people are able to function somewhat normally while others might need help all their life. The term is certainly over used but it's possible to meet someone autistic without ever knowing it.

Yeah, I've worked with autistic people for 10 years, I'm pretty aware of what it is. I find it insulting for these people to see this condition use as a buzzword for memes.

A home-built (from a set) one-board computer counts as what?

Autistic children will be discluded from the study for skewing results
