Autistic Devs

A community for devs on the Autistic spectrum.

This is primarily a "safe space" from other communities on programming.dev that would rather tell us to "man up", than provide any reasonable social advice.

Posts that belong in this community include:

Venting
Seeking Advice
Personal Experiences / Stories

We are open to allistic/NT folx providing feedback! However, it MUST be done with the knowledge and understanding that we are autistic and require a lot more assistance in the domain of social understanding.

Posts/Comments that AREN'T allowed:

Posts that spread toxic masculinity - "man up", "be a man", etc.
Posts that attack allistic folx or those with different neurodivegence.
Posts that don't relate to an Autistic person's experience in software development, I.T., Infrastructure, or other tech focused roles.

If you are penning a response that includes a technical solution STOP!

Double check that the post asked for a technical solution - it likely doesn't. We recommend that technical questions go to their respective communities.

Struggling to get interviews (programming.dev)

Does anyone have tips for getting interviews? I'd like to think I do well enough when I get them since I'm 3-for-3 on offers, but I can't seem to get them. I'm working on shifting out of a big 4 consultancy back to industry either in the civilian space sector or in game dev. But it's hard to puff up my résumé because I'm not much into playing the whole bs game, and autism does me no favours in networking. Suggestions?

I'd have to find someone willing to let me join them, though. That's the issue, since most presentations are given by firms.
