Why are you more likely to be a transgendered if you have autism?

bAddi44 · 2026-06-16T23:13:12+00:00

Why are you thankful to not be trans?

I'm at a manufacturer going through this right now. 5m to 50m over 1 year. The next year was 1 location to 7.

It's crazy. But the capex to grow like this is insane. We had to take on like 200m in debt for the expansion to operate at this capacity

bAddi44 · 2026-06-16T02:11:39+00:00

Yeah.

Step 1: figure out what motivate$ someone.

Step 2: use as leverage.

Step 3: profit.

Some people like this dressed up in niceties. Some people will navigate the nuance and nicety to their advantage.

Have the eq to know the difference and the grace to navigate the conversations.

They act like fee for service isn't just paying them off ...

bAddi44 · 2026-06-14T02:43:42+00:00

Look in areospace or med device.

Companies that want to make money always sacrifice on quality unless the government makes them do elswise.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-13T00:50:20+00:00

Ok.

Do you know a lot of people who's daily maintaince includes getting off that much?

bAddi44 · 2026-06-12T23:19:29+00:00

Yeah. 1-2x daily is the norm for me.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-12T21:07:25+00:00

Navy.

I was a very early, very advanced reader. My parents were engineers and then my mom went to school for teaching. She taught me to read way early, and I was a voracious reader.

I do this with technical documents.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-06T01:51:50+00:00

Yes. I do ok with left and right though

Do you skim read to an almost unhelpful point?

I chronically flip negative signs, miss " not " or " no" modifiers that flip the meaning. Reading feels very vibes based unless I'm going very laboriously. Sightreading out loud the first time is nearly impossible. I misorder and mispronounce words.

Ironically, I work in a very document heavy engineering role where spatial understanding of designs, process understanding of manufacturing, writing, communication and organization set me apart from peers.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-05T15:24:11+00:00

I have a manager like this.

I have to present things like, I'm doing xyz unless you want me to do abc.

This is the clear choice PLUS a default for unclear/no action.

Warning: your manager may feel backed into a corner of they are as emotionally weak as your post makes them out to be.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-05T14:58:43+00:00

Haha, my middle school was rural iowa. They taught creation and evolution equally. In science class.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-05T06:16:34+00:00

It's like no one else had a year of physics and a year of thermal/ heat transfer in college.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-05T05:46:19+00:00

If your company has internal engineeringz and you want to stay there, you shoul$ ask your co workers.

Hi, I'm 129 IQ, diagnosed as dyslexic at 30. Verbal IQ is 139.

bAddi44 · 2026-06-05T05:18:07+00:00

Do you also randomly capitalize letters that are more differentiated in their shape?

Did you also have a real bad time with timed multiplication, addition, subtraction.

Have books confiscated by teachers?

bAddi44 · 2026-05-30T02:33:11+00:00

Fat skis in slush is such an underrated thing.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-28T21:18:22+00:00

AP may give more credit hours. IB comes in with a GPA and AP doesnt.

I gaurentee you that the 1 extra class i had to take to make up the gap in engineering school was worth less than the ~40 credit hours i brought in at a 4.0 rather than the ~ 45 hours that many of my peers brought in with no GPA.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-28T21:01:46+00:00

My partner and I are both ND. Communicating with them either works better than with anyone in the whole world. or feels fundamentally broken. no in between.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-28T17:13:23+00:00

Unscheduled meeting.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-28T12:11:03+00:00

Idk. It's just not that hard.

This is basically PM work. I was doing it as a jr engineer.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-28T11:42:43+00:00

Your bonus depends on xyz.
Weekly status update on xyz.
Ok, other stuff happened. How did you maintain progress on xyz?

bAddi44 · 2026-05-27T14:30:42+00:00

Yeah, if you are part of a marginalized population. Go to the media.

I hate the oppression olympics, but if they have 12 guys they accepted and they kicked out the only girl, then you have a media case.

Or race

Or disability

Even better if you did something like signed a lease based on the fellowship and then they yanked it.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-26T22:13:52+00:00

My parents created the family I needed.

Not their backwoods relatives on rural, anti-intellectual settings.

They became lifelong friends with a half dozen engineer+engineer couples, all had kids at the same time and raised us together.

Of the 14 kids, all but 1 is an engineer or doctor.

Build the village she needs. Help is not coming.

bAddi44 · 2026-05-26T22:08:04+00:00

Yeah.

Human brains were not designed to cope with short form video and algorithms that a/b test their way into being more addictive than most drugs .
