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 …

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.
