Where Programming Languages Fall on Autism Spectrum

Post Reply New Topic

I like doing assembler and verilog programming. It gets down to the meats of the hardware. I also do C, C++, Python and Basic as well. I never really like java and C#. I just don't know why.

I'd like to start learning Lisp actually, it's one language people always recommend to improve your programming but I have a feeling it's going to take some getting used to.

My husband is planning a transition to programming. He has no background, but is exceedingly detail-oriented and will be great at the right stuff for him. He and I are trying to figure out what track is best for him - gaming, full stack web-development, languages (C, python)...as you can see, I don't know what I'm talking about. I read through all of the responses, but I'm not following what any of you mean by one language being more 'autistic' than another. Is 'autistic' in this sense a good thing? As in, a more 'autistic' language is a better match for an Aspie? Or the opposite: You mean the more autistic language is less intuitive for Aspies??? Please help us try to figure out where he can start! We need him to take over as the bread winner in our home as my health is not good. I recently went through cancer treatment and am currently dealing with an often debilitating neurological condition.

Please. He is the typical Aspie - literal, detailed, hard-working, diligent, an ace with data and statistics. He is more social than most Aspies, but does best working on very focused work on his own.
