Night. I'm going to slightly catch up on sleep by going to bed a little earlier.

I see you're online in your sleep.

I was actually dead asleep, so that's weird.

"Follow this set of procedures unless you're some kind of autistic genius. And believe me, I have seen them. They think differently."

No, everyone thinks differently. You can't just fit everyone into a box unless they have a neurological disorder; just because someone is "normal" doesn't mean that they can't think independently. Anyone can become an expert at anything if they're taught or they learn a way that works for them.

New Chrome sucks.

You're completely misunderstanding what that statement meant. :/

My new workplace is cool, halfway through the day. Even got a free sub and pop for lunch.

This is accurate.

I was there; I get the context. That was a fragment.

Then you get that
A) The word "autistic" could be taken out and it would still have the same meaning.
B) No "Normal" person will ever think like an "autistic genius." They literally think differently on a physical level.
C) The statement in and of itself doesn't say "oh normal people can't succeed" it's just saying that "hey you should probably do it this way because hey, it fucking works."

No people think the same way, autistic or not. Autists may have different wiring, but that doesn't change that psychologically, every single person forms different neural paths. It doesn't make any sense to imply that someone has to be autistic in order to use a different method because anything that works just works. It's all reliant on the person to understand it, and one doesn't have to be autistic in order to be what qualifies as a "genius." People are so quick to assume the definition of a "genius," when in reality most people are probably pretty close to it in something.

No dude, they don't. People with and without mental abnormalities don't think the same way. That's the whole thing. A "genius" and an "autistic genius" are different things. And yeah, it does make sense. "In order to use a different method you have to think differently than most people." That's not an incorrect statement. At no point was it said "you have to be autistic to be a genius." Like I said, the word "autistic" could be taken out and it would have the same meaning.

"People with and without mental abnormalities don't think the same way." That's my point. People without don't think the same as people without, and people with don't think the same as people with. You can't fit minds into boxes because none are the same. A science genius genius is as different from an art genius is as different from an autistic math genius, etc. The whole purpose of me bringing it up is that preventing people from using a method that works for them shouldn't be done.

A) There is a definite range though. Autistics have a range of ways they think that's different than non-autistics' range, etc. This is on a physical level because there is a difference in how the neural pathways develop and form and sometimes even function.
B) The quote you gave never tried to prevent anyone from using different methods. It was just highly suggesting using the ones that work for most people.

@DarkwolfX37

Physically, yes. Just like you can wire a computer differently. But regardless of the wiring, we each run a custom version of human Linux, regardless of the wiring.

She didn't suggest anything. She probably meant it as one, but I was commenting on the literal statements made, not guessing her intention in saying it. Now tell me what a pirate's favorite letter is.

David and I both live further south than Soul (and I think Dark but I forget his state) and we say soda. Something is wrong here.
