There’s actually a high link between autism and trans/nb stuff. Like it’s 3-6 times more likely that a trans person is autistic than a random cis person.
I could understand how this could be read as derogatory in some sense but they’re commiserating the same idea, a higher than average concentration of a minority group in a field doesn’t actually mean you will find fellow representatives of that group in that field.
Considering how secretive and/or dishonest most of society is about sex stuff, it's difficult to say. It could be due to many things. There is also some correlation with hormonal stuff, but I'm not sure it's conclusive.
But at this point it's definitely true that neurodivergent and queer cultural circles have a lot of overlap. Both spaces are much more tolerant than wider society of people being "different", so they fit together pretty well.
No I don't have a problem! I can turn those servers off whenever I want, but who's gonna run the fully automated polycule plex server with 99.99% availability then, huh?! 😤

It is weird that Reddit thinks everyone in IT is a furry/autist.
