This makes me feel that as a community we need to at the very least recognise the need to adapt our processes for people who don't communicate or think about things the way a neurotypical person would. <br /><br />I'm curious about what you mean by being paired with a fluent team member. Would you care to elaborate?testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320199098014551969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990029112105182110.post-51332345983617288542011-08-10T22:13:03.688+01:002011-08-10T22:13:03.688+01:00I disagree with labelling this as a 'disorder&...I disagree with labelling this as a 'disorder'. I agree it is a difference, but I feel it is a difference in the wiring (and/or bios) in the same way that a dual core processor is different to its predecessors. I think we are looking at some ongoing evolution here. This is a difference with potential.<br /><br />From a practical point of view I can only suggest: I make a good listener in meetings. I have asynchronous social skills: if I have a contribution or need to say something I won't be able to slide it into a multiplayer conversation as easily as the rest. (or at all, mostly) <br /><br />But, while I was paired with a 'fluent' team member we moved more development work than you can imagine and more than you would expect from 2.

I did my ScrumMaster training in the great state of Texas, but not out on the ranch.<br /><br />Thanks for your words of encouragement.<br /><br />If you're every in England, look me up!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Jamestesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320199098014551969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990029112105182110.post-59855981394128217772011-07-14T21:26:22.290+01:002011-07-14T21:26:22.290+01:00James,

It does sound like some kind of livestock management issue.<br /><br />On a serious note, I have a great nephew who was diagnosed early this year as a high functioning autistic. His mom is an internist and his dad is a surgeon. The kid is bright and I am sure your son is as well. I wish you and your son the best. I am of the belief that there will be many more opportunities for both of these boys in the future. Parents like you and my niece will find a path to a lifetime of success for each of these boys.<br /><br />KenKen Schillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990029112105182110.post-3012199534938464952011-07-04T20:37:10.807+01:002011-07-04T20:37:10.807+01:00Quite interesting question, I am myself a computer...Quite interesting question, I am myself a computer engineer, I have worked within the telecom computer business for 20 years. I have been during that time worked as developer, project manager, manager and other different tasks. And i have myself, not a diagnosis, but much of the ASD symtoms. I can communicate WORK without any problems, but I get panic if I have to be "social", witty, interentin and so on.<br /><br />And the company I have worked for is very interested in the agile thing, where you are supposed to be sitting in close teams for long, long times. Let's say i'm interested, and since at least 50% of the guys who studied computer science at the same time as me were less social, well... This is important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
