What are your plans if you truly think that that's the future?

Or worse: out of a job after spending years learning an obsolete skill

This technology is advancing very rapidly. I'm kind of scared.

True. Watching that movie was a mistake. I just felt bad the entire time. Just felt like absolute ass. There is something to be said about art that just makes you feel awful the entire time.

I'm finishing my degree at the start of next year. I can only imagine to what world I will get into, after the pandemic, quarantines, and remote jobs. It's going to be such a different world compared to a few years ago. Damn.

That's an interesting point, and I agree. But the difference is, I have experience working with difficult and disrespectful people in group projects who are neurotypical. I know how to deal with them and how to resolve the issues that most commonly arise.

But in this case I have absolutely zero knowledge or experience dealing with a similar situation but with a neurodivergent person. It's a completely new thing that I've never had to deal with. That's why I'm asking for advice.

Thank you for your advice. I agree that group dynamics are most likely very hard and can be super frustrating for him, and maybe that causes his disruptive behaviour.

Thank you for your input. I'll be more direct when issues arise and have a set of rules for conduct ready. Hopefuly you're right about repairing the relationship.

Thank you for your advice. Next meeting I will try to talk to him and set a few rules of conduct. Hopefuly we'll all get along better.

I can't leave. The groups were formed at the start of the semester by the professor so those are the groups that are going to last until the end of it. That's why I'm asking for advice on how to better deal with the situation.

This semester I had the opportunity to work with a classmate with Asperger's syndrome. It has been a very bad experience to say the least. In meetings he screams and berates us, gets very angry and easily frustrated when things are not done the way he wants to do them, even when the rest of the group has unanimously decided to do them a certain way. One time he started watching a video in the middle of the meeting and screamed at us to shut up every time we tried to talk because he couldn't listen to his video.

My university or department has had absolutely no contact with me or any member of my group to guide us on how to work with a neurodivergent classmate, on how to make the group and project work. It has been a very tiring experience. Can anybody give me any advice on how to try to better the situation? How to make the environment better for him and my group?
