      Of course, it is. Everything must be about feelings, social nuance, sensitivity and making everyone feel included (unless they wrongthink)https://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/895977597326282753 …

      Then you can callously dehumanise them, vilify them & try to erase them from existence. This is nothing to do with kindness.

          The kind of sensitivity & social skills they want have nothing to do with empathy. Or there'd be empathy for those not socially skilled.

          It's to do with saying the right things and not offending the right people with the wrong terminology or, heaven forbid, the wrong ideas.

          Obviously, people who are neurologically atypical may have an especially hard time keeping up with highly complicated &changing social stuff

          And we need to keep a close eye on how the demands of SocJus orthodoxy can, well, marginalise (!) people with Asperger's etc

          Especially considering that many won't want to get a diagnosis or have one but not want to share it so they can be 'excused' compliance.

          This should be entirely unnecessary because we shouldn't be in a position where people have to read & respond to others feelings in set ways

          There have always been brilliant people, ethical people, kind people, who just don't read others that well or see it as a primary objective.

          It is, on ethical grounds, completely irrelevant whether this is due to atypical neurology. They are who they are. Inclusion includes them.

          Other people's sensitivity & social skills matter in personal relationships, not professional ones. Then civility & cooperation should do.

          Personally, social skills are not something I value hugely in personal relationships either. They've been known to lead to trivial chitchat.

          But that's probably unfair. That's what I associate with the term. Small talk & personal questions. I'm sure they're not essential.

          But when people attack those who are not socially skilled & do not read others well, I think of my father and get homicidal.

          If you're upset that someone is not reading you well, consider not needing to be read & just tell them what you need in simple terms.
