@drewdevault Personally I take it as deeply insulting. Specially when the context is an old grown up, rather than like a teenager/young-adult where you could consider that it's just taking them more time to learn than it would for others.

Reads about the same as "ooh but they can't do this thing, they're handicapped" at best when they actually could just do it fine and you never asked. (Specially when AFAIK rms has refuted the neurodivergent allegations every single time)
