Yes, my apologies. I think I have stupidly rubbed some people the wrong way, as I am unfortunately still very prone to do. I hope someone else can continue the thread, because I think it is important.

Probably not “stupidly”!? If we touch uncomfortable issues without intent to offend we can usually just apologize and explain.

No, you can never blame people for acting on what they know and believe. But I should have known better, I am often just not aware and self-aware enough to act on reasonable expectations of consequences instead of impulses and value-based intuitions.

Doesn’t that go for all of us? I can’t think of a single human being incapable of learnings (or “mistakes” as they are commonly called).

Yes, but it is always a step-by-step process. You only learn based on the current state mental, the resulting loss function, and the ability to find a new state that improves the model in the direction of a global optimum.

Absolutely. Maybe I am naïve, but I would have hoped that people in the Chaos community have at least some degree of openness.

They absolutely do, and I have received tremendous amounts of kindness and support. Probably even more than in any other community I am vaguely part of.

Specifically: is there no way to clear up the misunderstandings that led to this serious gap in the Fahrplan? Your last talk was packed!

Basically, how do you explain to neurotypicals that you may hold views that appear offensive to them and you act in disregard of some common norms not to spite them, but because of autism? Also, perhaps they are right and my effect on the social environment is net-negative?

This is a hard nut to crack. Agreed. How do we explain something to someone without our way of experiencing the world?

As usually, by convincing them that it is in their best interest to do so. Sometimes that won't be possible. Or it might not be true. Or it might even not be in our best interest, because why should we not learn to reverse engineer their interface and adapt to it?
