It's not uncommon for autistic people to be accused of emotional manipulation. Autistic social communication generally lacks the unspoken emotional messages that neurotypical people rely on. So neurotypical people imagine them. They "read into" autistic communication emotional meanings that are not intended. I have experienced this many, many times. It leads to serious misunderstandings and enormous distress on both sides. If you perceive an autistic person as emotionally manipulative, you are not hearing what they are actually saying.
Interesting to see the debate around this. It made me think about how bluntness and over honesty used to be seen as a symptom of autism. But people now are diagnosed with autism who are able to effectively deploy emotionally charged rhetoric and effective social manipulation.

a kid in the dallas airport tapped my leg while we were waiting in line and whispered “hey guess what? my daddy’s jet ski sank in a lake and we never saw him again.” his mom from behind him: “stop telling people that!”

Bradley Whitford: “I’ve been very public about my criticism of RFK. The bullshit about vaccines is very personal to me — my first cousin died of polio. Vaccines do not cause autism. The moral bankruptcy of people in search of power when the most fundamental aspects of our democracy are under attack is really upsetting to me whether it’s Jeff Bezos or RFK”

It's now required to say "a country of 92m people" when mentioning Iran. How on earth did Tucker Carlson make that happen? Let's make Carlson ask Cruz about other things that everyone should know. "Ted, what's the formula for the surface area of a sphere?" "..." "You don't know? It's 4πr squared" "If you say so"

Hey! I'm a bit scared to put this out there but I just uploaded a video to youtube of me live-coding a Mandelbrot viewer in p5.js. You might like it if you're into fractals, creative coding or have ever wondered how the Mandelbrot set works. youtu.be/dLdjWMtBfJI?si=1K8T…

I made a little utility to make it easier to print cardboard standees for my in-person D&D games. Hope you find it useful too. Not mobile friendly, but should work in most desktop browsers. techbelly.github.io/standee #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpgcommunity

It is hard to feel compassion towards someone who goes abroad to support a radical group that detests our country's values, but she was clearly not bright enough to know better, and that's why I don't think Liz Truss should be stripped of her citizenship.

I am aware of a distressing incident in the Channel this morning and I am being kept constantly updated while agencies respond and urgently establish the full facts. My heartfelt thoughts are with all those involved.
