@karolherbst@chaos.social @mupuf@social.treehouse.systems I think having a certain shape of autism does make you better at doing certain things. The unfair part is that some skills are considered useful while others aren't.
So, a person is never better than the next, but a person can be particularly good at one thing and in this world being good at certain things gives you an advantage. I wouldn't put it as being all luck tbh (although I guess having the "right" skills is luck). That's not true especially in the open source field where lots of people are hired because do the work they do voluntarily.

That's luck. What are poor people doing that would love to spend more time doing FOSS, but can't because their parents don't have the money and they need to do shitty jobs they don't want to do? Is the lack of skill preventing them? Technically yes, because they don't have the time to build up those skills, but actually it's just bad luck.
