I'm actually kind of angry at seeing this tweet, because I've worked for
@microsoft in the past, and have literally been trying to get the word out about their heartless, bigoted attitude towards#ActuallyAutistic people for the better part of a year, to no avail.1 vastaus 1 uudelleentwiittaus 7 tykkäystä -
Set the Wayback Machine to circa 2015 or so. In that time frame,
@Microsoft were trying to promote themselves as some amazing place for#ActuallyAutistic people to work by making us out as little more than robots with all the personal agency of a fucking house pet.1 vastaus 1 uudelleentwiittaus 5 tykkäystä -
"We love autistic people," said their PR barrage, "because they're too socially inept to realize when they're being taken advantage of! We can demand that they work no end of unpaid overtime, and shaft them with inequitable social treatment, and they won't know any better!"

That's literally what
@Microsoft's attitude towards#ActuallyAutistic people is: That we're an asset who'll work burdensome hours that would burn out allistic people, 'cos we're clearly all a bunch of losers with no social lives and fucking nothing better to do with our time.3 vastausta 1 uudelleentwiittaus 5 tykkäystä -
I live in Germany, close to SAP, a big IT firm, that started hiring autistic people aswell. I was alsways a bit suspicious of the way they advertised this, but I don't know how I can find out more about how autistic employees are treated.

I'm not sure how you could go about getting that information, unfortunately. It's just been my experience that if a company has to shout from the rafters how great a place it is for people on the autism spectrum, it typically isn't.

It's one of those "actions speak louder than words" situations. Nobody's ever been swayed by a person shouting loudly about how smart they are, or how racist they aren't, or how fast they can run. These are the sort of things that are borne out entirely by deeds, not words.
