This is an unconventional but interesting usage of Mesa in X-Plane:

Really cool to see what Zink is enabling.
@goatsarah you should probably keep that closed. The only reason I can imagine a knob next to the stove is a gas shut off valve.
@aspiringcat That's awesome, always more fun to correct someones else work.
@lp0_on_fire the main concern is cost, capacitive buttons are significantly cheaper.
It seems like the majority of medically-recognised #Autistic traits are not autistic traits per se.
They are trauma responses common in autistic people.
I'm "more interested in things than people?" Maybe "things" don't turn hostile on me for unexplained reasons.
I'm dogmatically insistent that nobody can understand my mind but me? Maybe my entire childhood was spent resisting adults telling me they knew my mind better than I did.
This is also why "autistic traits" can seem contradictory. Both "talks about their interests all the time even in inappropriate settings" and "never talks about their interests" can be part of a diagnosis.
Because the latter is a trauma response to having the former shut down.
Is there an untraumatised autistic person?
I actually don't think so. So the map of what autism looks like to clinicians is shaped by our trauma.
And this probably compounds their impression that we're somehow defective, which in turn compounds the attitudes used to break us.
I just wanna be seen as a person.
@malwaretech would you mind making this available in a format that is actually readable?, Reading moving text under time pressure isn't something I am capable of.
@dneary @roadriverrail @mekkaokereke just for fun I will add another story a bit closer to home. Sweden changed the colour once in the 70's to make it more printable, and again in the 00's to improve the rendering on computer screens.
@dneary @roadriverrail @mekkaokereke the reason why you don't hear about things like the somewhat recent change to the French flag is that no one really cares, unless their is a lot of emotional trauma tied to the issue.
Short story the French changed the blue in their flag to show solidarity with the EU, Macron changed it back.
