Apparently, there's an autistic Thomas the Tank Engine character.

    @dylanisaiah AuDHD here. Also a Common Lisp enjoyer.I love the extremely tight feedback loop and how interactive of a development style you get with the language. How anything and everything can be immediately inspected and poked at in the REPL as genuine objects. I like that it's a standardized language, effectively frozen you don't have to deal with things like a new version of a language breaking things. The uniform syntax of Lisp (s-expressions) also aids in low cognitive load imo.With Common Lisp you get a language that lends itself towards a functional style but firmly multiparadigm.What usually doesn't work for me are languages that I can't interactively use. Using Common Lisp feels like I'm literally touching a program, molding it with my hands, meanwhile nearly every other language feels like simply staring at text on a screen.See here for another perspective on Lisp as it relates to a learning disability in particular, extremely interesting: https://www.iwillig.me/blog/on-dyslexia-and-lisp/

    Asking Fedi. Could you help me find pieces of art, especially video pieces about autism from the perspective of the autistic person? Ideally, made by autistic artists or filmmakers. Preferably short films but any other kind of art piece would be welcome too. I edit to add: I'm asking because one of my final project students, who is autistic, is planning to do a video about his autism and how he experiences it. I wanted to send him some previous works, for inspiration or as examples. Anything helps! Boosts OK. #askFedi #actuallyAutistic

    @LauraLangdon Sounds to me like the increase in autism is being driven by natural selection.I don't want no alpha male boyfriend, just somebody who is kind.
