Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Enforcing Calc sheet protection

Hi :)
Thanks :)  Not everyone realises that and many of us on this mailing list
often do the same as Andreas did too  :)

A lot of people in IT have aspergers syndrome or similar things and we
don't always realise that people might misinterpret things we say.  We
often just say exactly what we mean but then people add all sorts of
emotional stuff into it and sometimes even end-up thinking we've said the
reverse of what we really said.

Even non-Aspies in a lot of areas of IT get used to communicating in much
the same way = just direct and clear with no spin or anything.

I am kinda hyper-sensitive to things like that and try to help
Neurotypicals (NTs)
http://musingsofanaspie.com/2013/01/10/what-is-neurotypical/
to understand what was probably meant.  I am probably so hyper-sensitive to
it because it is such a nightmare for me to try to get myself understood by
NTs.  For many years i just thought certain sorts of people were being
deliberately obtuse but then i found a LOT of other people had the same
problem as me and that it's not something i can fix but is possible to
work-around the most frequent misunderstandings, sometimes.

Apparently Aspies are so common at Microsoft that their health-care now
includes testing employees children for it, if the employee wants.  I
cynically suspect that it is to help spot likely programmers from a MUCH
earlier age but many aspies (and auties) are 'gifted' musicians or amazing
artists instead.

Regards from
Tom :)
