Please include your name.

*AI- Autistic Individuals

What are some of the difficulties/obstacles you face as a family member/friend?

Does he/she you know hold a job?

If yes, what type of job is it? What is the environment of the job and how is he/she treated there?

What are the challenges an AI face when looking for a job?

What are some suggestions you could give regarding the workplace environment for AIs?

If they had a job, how has the AI (Autistic Individuals) having jobs helped their families?

What changes do you like to see regarding the job opportunities for AIs?

What are some of the important details/information we have to take into consideration when approaching an AI at a workplace?

Could you share with us the ways to manage the AIs?

Why do you want to know our thoughts on Artificial Intelligence?

Personnaly, I think it's a little tougher to get the job. Doing the job for anyone cappable of doing any job is likely easier than average.

There is a wide variety of Autistics, so any generalisation is a gross over simplification.

When I was in grad school, another grad student once told about a discussion that took place when he was an undergraduate student in Lousiana. The discussion took place in his dorm room with another student while his roommate who was studying animal science was present.

They mentioned AI several times and how they were looking forward to taking the course. Every time they mentioned it, his roommate just got madder and madder. He finally got mad enough to tell him that it was a great injustice for the computer science department to get an artificial insemination lab when the animal science department didn't have one.

A school project should not require people's names. I doubt you will get a good response rate if you expect that.

Edited to add: I really want a "baby" robot with AI and teach it how to do things. That is weird, I know, but I think it would be great to have. I wish I knew more about AI.

A "baby" robot should be pretty easy. All it needs to do is randomly cry, scream, and create toxic waste.

No, I did not explain it right. They have robots where they program them so they can learn how to teach themselves how to walk and develop their own (not human) language. It even looks cute (to me) as they try to calculate through trial and error the most efficient way. That is what I want, but I cannot program that well, nor do I have $$$ to develop a robot.

I do not want a robot doll that is like a baby human. I want a baby robot that acts like a baby robot that learns appropriate robot skills.

That makes more sense, then.

Although a robot baby like I described could be quite interesting. Put it in a baby carriage, push it down the street, and watch the expressions of anyone who looks in to see the "baby". Give it a human face, but with some distinct unusual features. Or put it face down so when they look in, all they see is the toxic waste.
