alt Hacker NewsYou could add "I'm a HN regular" as a diagnostic criterium.
The HN crowd is surely over-represented in ASD, which makes sense for people enjoying debating nerdy topics and pedantry.
And "I like Lisp" should be an automatic qualifier.

We definitely do run in packs. All of my really good friends have ended up being diagnosed with (or strongly suspected of having) ADHD or autism.

I honestly prefer C/assembly over lisp, which should be even more so.

Very funny and on the nose :)
I'm reminded of a post on r/Factorio. (Factory builder game.)
(Paraphrase, I don't recall the words)
If you like Factorio you should be tested for autism because you might be autistic. If you like Pymods (a mod that adds an extreme number of hoops to the game) you should be tested for autism because there's a chance you don't have it.
