Requirements to put in a job description to discourage or filter out autistic people:

  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong people skills
  • Good culture fit
  • Multitasking
  • A fast-paced dynamic environment
  • Bachelor's degree or better

I see these things and think you don't want my >30 years of programming and machine learning experience, or my problem-solving skills and comprehensive knowledge that had people mistaking me for one of the team's PhDs, or my solutions that have proven patent-worthy. Your loss.

@DrSuzanne @actuallyautistic @hosford42 @neurodivergence I have put some of these requirements in hiring ads myself specifically as a warning to others. In an ideal world I would create an environment where someone new comes in and they have clear expectations and requirements to solve deep technical problems. But the reality is usually that the customer/pm/management changes their minds every week, or the problem is more a social than a technical problem, but there is enough of a technical aspect that we still need a technical hire.

I can't speak for every hiring ad, but sometimes these are put in as warning signs with the best of intentions.

This story by @dangaristo reports shocking details of scientific misconduct by Ranga Dias, who made headlines last year for his now-retracted reports of room-temperature . It’s an extreme case, but it exposes weaknesses in that badly need more attention.

@jsdodge @EVDHmn @jCarttarBrooke @dangaristo @academicchatter I think both are true in this case.

It shows the strength of the scientific system that the problem was found and corrected, much faster than some previous cases.

But it also shows there is still work to be done to protect students and progress in general from years of misleading information staying published.
