<p>> The problem is that our industry clings to this bizarre ritual where we test for skills that are completely orthogonal to the actual job.<p>I agree. And it's not a good sign for the industry when engineers have to spend months working up to being good at answering these questions <i>just</i> to get the job.</p>

<p>> The educational institutions meant well, but the students took the wrong message from their accommodations and assumed it was always the world's responsibility to bend to their personal quirks rather than the other way around.<p>This is kind of a toxic perspective and could be why you have so many problems with your neurodiverse coworkers. If you believe they should never require accommodations and are always expected to conform to the rest of society, then you don't understand what that experience is like and how further debilitating it can actually be.</p>

<p>I think they are claiming the opposite and that autistic people don't lack theory of mind, but that the theory of mind claim is stemmed from their communication impaiarment. I am no expert, but I think they are trying to overcome the idea you're presenting.<p>> Because theory-of-mind tasks rely heavily on “fairly complex language” (San José Cáceres, Keren, Booth, & Happé, 2014, p. 608) and because autism, by diagnostic definition, involves communication impairment (Gernsbacher, Morson, & Grace, 2016), it is unsurprising that autistic participants with communication impairment perform less well than nonautistic participants without communication impairment. And because autistic people vary in their communication impairment (Gernsbacher, Geye, & Ellis Weismer, 2005), it is unsurprising that autistic people vary in their theory-of-mind task performance.</p>

<p>Sorry for the late response, but I don't have any more information about it as it's mostly anecdotal based on my experience. The best explanation I have come up with is the high blood pressure lowers the amount of oxygenated blood in the brain making it harder to produce dopamine, which it is already struggling to do.</p>
