We autistics have the lowest employment rate of any disability group. The way jobs are allocated is fundamentally dependent on neurotypical-style social interactions. We strike many neurotypicals as "off" somehow because we don't move or talk or think like them. I think we hit the uncanny valley, basically. And because they often make their assessments and hiring decisions on "gut feeling", that incongruous signaling is enough for us to be passed over...over and over and over.

I move like a hummingbird. But not like they would know with all the online application and no interviews… I think its cause I graduated from a special ed class… cause they can know that. And even knowing they could pay me sub minimum… they still wouldn’t chance me.
But I at least understand why people think Im on drugs when I saw myself on security footage next to a normal married couple… they moved line penguins. My hummingbird flapping surly…

I've been the lucky exception in that I can *sometimes* seem NT enough to pass the exclusion tests.

Could people boozt this? I am so curious.

@thordis The thing about this poll is that if you know Gen X at all, it’s that most of us can’t be *bothered* to do something. It’s literally a defining trait of our generation.
So the (current) 36% that is Gen X probably doesn’t account for the 4 out of every 5 GenXers who actually saw the poll.

Are you a:
Within the last 6 months there was a similar poll, it it was 67 percent boomers. So basically i think you're measuring your own graph, not that of the fediverse. Which makes it all more interesting, not less.

@thordis
I guess you were right, we're all millennials.That's how this winner takes all democracy thing works, right?
-
@thordis Seems like I gotta get more of my generation (Gen Z) onboarded on the fediverse.
I hope, you're right.
This place could use a bit more of young blood and fresh perspectives.
-
@thordis I have to look up these categories every time. That all suggests to me that I'm probably a boomer, but no, according to the table, I'm Gen X and have experienced digitalization. Cool.
-
@thordis Xennial here - on the cusp of millenials and gen X
@szczurtorebkowy @thordis guess I am a Zennial then

Are you a:
@thordis I am definitely Gen X. Born in 1966. I've seen the format wars: reel to reel tape, vinyl, cassette tape, Laserdisc, VHS and betamax......
My generation ended up buying some albums and movies 3 times because the technology moved on that often!
-
Whatever that weird gap is between the tail-end of the Boomers and the beginning of Gen X.

Maybe we need a category called denyllenial , they don't want to be anywhere.

The surest sign of my 13% boomerness is that I always have to look up the other categories...

Are you a:
@thordis I communicate with a lot of boomers/gen Z here in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgians and I'm one of those myself depending which birth years you handle to be a boomer or Gen Z'er.
