Why do some people say studying CS is for autists?
| ....so, maybe you could explain what CS is for such reatrds as myself? I mean, English is not my native language, and for me CS is nothing but abbreviation for Counter-Strike, so idk, it would be nice.

Meh, that's not your fault, it's just that I'm a dum-dum. I still could have guesses what that stands for.
So, getting back to the point, one acquaintance of mine studies CS too, and I wouldn't say that anyone attending this class looks autistic or something, and neither I heard anyone talking shit about it in a place where I live.
Anyway, does that really matter? Just do what you like doing
| >>425323 yeah, it doesn't really matter, but just wondering if I was an exception or if it was some stereotype, besides, might get some funny stories from peoples experiences.
| Just as a joke I would imagine. A lot of them were socially autistic at the very least.
| Seriously, who has ever said that?
| Being anal about things actually will help you in CS. Fucking bugs
| Autism is a trouble affecting sociability. So statistically speaking, it wouldn't surprise me to see more autists in CS than many other fields.
However, those who will say things such as "everyone in CS has autism" will most of the times simply be jealous because CS is something they are too dumb/lazy to understand.
Using "autist" as an insult isn't really smart no matter the situation, anyway.
| I dunno where you get that. CS is one of the most popular major where I'm from. It's got all sorts.
... But it does seem to appeal more to, like, weebs and internet-culture-aware people and such.

| I mean, I study CS and some of my classmates are fucking Chads and very few seem like the type of person people would call autists (whether or not they really are)
