Autism in Tech
summary
Autistic developer with 10+ years’ experience and founder of nonprofit DDSoft explains concrete challenges: struggles with communication, context blindness, and executive functioning that make code reviews, open‑source contributions and toolchain upgrades anxiety‑provoking. Uses Microsoft stack (C#, Xamarin, NuGet), spends weeks debugging an Android build for legacy devices by downgrading packages and creating a separate git branch, later moves to Blazor. Virtual conferences cut eye‑contact stress but remove audience feedback; pandemic gives extra time for coping routines like cooking.
