Autism spectrum organizations, boosts requested

Yeah, I would say it depends to a large degree on the area of study. I definitely wouldn't entrust my health to a doctor who didn't have a degree in medicine, but if we're talking about something like programming, I don't think it makes a difference if you went to college or were self-taught.
@zleap this is our first ever game jam. We posted announcements twice before it started and once during, on all our platforms
It's been a wide success though, so we may see one next year too!

Every particle in the Standard Model is either a fermion or a boson. Quantum rules govern how these particles occupy space. Fermions, which cannot occupy the same space, are matter particles, while bosons, which can overlap, are force particles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl1jXFnzgo https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1476935945609961476/video/1
