Didn\'t agree with John Larkin quite as fast as John would have liked.

No, quite different. It\'s called a \"spectrum\" for good reason.

What Phil knows about being autistic seems to come from calling other people autistic. and probably from being told that he is austistic (though that\'s merely a plausible hypothesis).

He certainly seems to see many more autistic people than you\'d expect from the Australian population statistics, so his diagnostic criteria don\'t seem to be well calibrated.

> No, quite the opposite. All sorts of things that other people worry about, I absolutely ignore.

That\'s excessive self-confidence and egomania - also exhibited by Donald Trump. Nothing to do with autism - though if you can\'t pick up the socials signals telling you that you are boasting to excess, you may be more likely to make a habit of it.

He also cooks, and bakes bread, so we took him for Thai lunch outdoors
and then walked to Tartine and bought him a gigantic sourdough country
loaf. All that sort of stuff suggests how people might work together.

** No it does not.

Not Phil, who isn\'t the most collaborative of engineers.

He admits to being autistic, which is if anything an asset in our business.

** My god, what a shitty business you are in.

Thinking objectively, inventing things that work. It\'s fun and pays well.

But I guess being socially awkward and obsessed with tiny details is some sort advantage when doing PCBs.

The tiny details matter. There are thousands of possible mistakes on a complex board, and it takes some obsession to get every one right.

Not exactly obsession. Persistence works just as well, and it\'s handy if you can break off and worry about something else that turns out to be more urgent before getting back to finish the job.
Obsession is less flexible.

> As it takes some dedication to be really good at most anything.

Dedication isn\'t obsession.

Another guy that we zoom interviewed this week is autistic too.

** So PCB design is one step below code scribbling ?

Visibly so.

** Wonder what that means.

Rocking back and forth into the camera, especially visible with the close-up cam of a laptop. I let him know so maybe he can try to not do it in the future.

Mo works with autistics. She suggests he do something out of sight, like squeeze a rubber ball maybe.

Hesitant speech, makes no eye contact and looks plain odd?

No that guy was great otherwise. Really smart, but wants to do wireless stuff, which we don\'t do.

Phil capacity for diagnosing autism is remarkable, but not all that reliable - he does see much more of it than people who are trained in how to look for it.

They lack the capacity to pick up social signals. That doesn\'t make them means and nasty - once they work out that they have been unintentionally offensive, they can be just as apologetic as anybody else.
Phil seems to lack the capacity to be apologetic.

But I guess being socially awkward and obsessed with tiny details is some sort advantage when doing PCBs.

The tiny details matter.

** But there is NO need to be autistic and obsessed to deal with details when needed.

Dedication is all that it takes. But there aren\'t all that many dedicated people around. If you\'ve got lots of printed circuit boards to get laid out, you may have to settle for obsessive.

By which Phil means that he doesn\'t want to believe it.

One autistic has no way to evaluate another.
Be like a blind person trying to evaluate someone\'s vision.

Autism involves some deficits in social interaction. The small visual and acoustic cues that most of us pick up automatically do help in evaluating other people, but there is plenty of other information available, not that Phil seems to know how to process it.

> The issue isn\'t personality stuff, it\'s electronics: not in your skill set.

Phil is actually very good at audio electronics. John Larkin has an inflated idea of his own electronic expertise. He\'s good but not as good as he likes to think, and he seems to have failed to notice when Phil\'s expertise was displayed here, as it has been from time to time.

John is also prone to insulting people by claiming that they \"don\'t design electronics\", which is a trifle ironic since John Larkin\'s approach to circuit design looks more like evolving a better circuit by trying out lots of tiny incremental changes. Most people\'s design process involves evaluating a lot of different ideas before turning one or two into prototypes and evaluating them, and they can talk about the blind alleys that they looked at. Maybe John Larkin is too vain to admit spending time exploring blind alleys.

and circuits and things. Work together.

Personalities matter too of course, and that is best evaluated by
working together for a while.

What an absurd lie and pathetic obfuscation.

There is no typical autism. It\'s not an OGOD (one gene, one disease)
like Huntington\'s, but it\'s the sum of hundreds of genetic effects.
Some trends are called \"autism\" by some people, but that\'s an
arbitrary prejudice.

You hate engineers because you can\'t understand the magic that we do.

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/facts.html

There is a a single diagnostic category labelled autistic spectrum disorders. There\'s not a single cause of all the various similar disorders, but they do have enough in common that they tend to be treated by a single class of medical practitioners. This single category may be a bit arbitrary - there are always going to be borderline cases - but clinical practice is shaped by patient behavior, not the other way around.

> You hate engineers because you can\'t understand the magic that we do. Lots of techs have that syndrome.

Phil isn\'t any kind of technician. He knows his way around audio electronics pretty well and does understand what he is doing. You don\'t seem to - or you may just not be interested in what other people do, if they don\'t know enough about what you are doing to give the the kind of well-informed flattery that you crave, and don\'t seem to deserve.

** Purest ** gobbledegook ** having ZERO to do with my simple and very true claim.

Phil can\'t understand that it directly contradicts his simple - but totally false - claim. The phenotype is just what is produced when the genotype - the genetic blueprint provided in the original fertilised egg - has developed into an adult. If every sufferer from autism suffered from the same crucial genetic defect, they\'d have a pretty similar phenotypes. They don\'t.

> That autistics have one characteristic thing in common.

That isn\'t true either. If it were Phil could name it.

His diagnosis of autism does seem to depend on one common characteristic - the sufferer has to have the temerity to disagree with Phil. Phil gets a lot of stuff wrong, so he does see a lot more \"autism\" than people who are trained to diagnose the actual disorder.
