So it's not going to be available in the EU and UK? That's fine.

As I understand it, the GDPR would require explicit consent from the subject before this data could be gathered in the first place, with some significant fines if breached.

No? Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping for some improvement in the world, but a random person on the internet said it wasn't possible without giving any reasons at all. Oh well.

Same here in the UK.

Maximum target waiting time is 13 weeks - AFTER you get a referral from a GP - and not all of those are willing to refer adults who are high functioning because they see it as taking a rare resource away from those more in need.

But even with that referral, 84% of people are waiting longer.

Private is possible, and 3-4 weeks, but that costs around £4,000.

Without a professional diagnosis, you won't qualify for any assistance, either from the state or your workplace.

(I self diagnosed as autisitic in my 50s, after a childhood diagnosis of dyslexic. I now think was a misdiagnosis of autism.)

self diagnosis is valid.

I agree. And in my country, waiting lists for any professional diagnosis are extremely long, especially for adults.

I'm guessing this is a firmware thing. Ie, if you plug in an unapproved drive it simply won't appear to the OS.

"They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak."

Logic's not so strong with this one, eh?

As always, what's not said is often more telling that what is.

He values women so little that he doesn't even consider their contribution worthwhile enough to mention. It's fine for them to waste their time playing games all day. (Or he doesn't think women don't play games, which is just as poor)

It's technically impossible, so a pretty pointless discussion.

And it's dangerous too. Even if they legislated them off the major platforms, there's a million other ways to communicate online. Hundreds of DMs, talkers, games, live chats, streams, even IRC still exists. And pushing them into the darker corners makes it far more likely for them to be exposed to coercive and controlling types. Extremism, child abuse, bullying, suicide encouragement and so on.

Why is that unpopular? It's literally the main stated purpose of most governments.

Graveyards don't exist for the dead.

They exist for both relatives to mourn, and the wider populace who value the perspective on their own problems that graveyards provide. They're also normally a peaceful place in an often unpeaceful world, much as urban green spaces.
