Correlation Doesn't Equal Causation: The Pluto Edition
This meme is a brilliant satire of how people misuse correlation to claim causation! Just because Pluto was discovered in 1930 and autism was first diagnosed around the same time doesn't mean one caused the other! It's like saying ice cream sales cause shark attacks because they both increase in summer. 🤣 The meme perfectly mocks conspiracy theorists who see patterns where none exist. Next they'll be telling us that the rise in smartphone use caused the decline in Pluto's planetary status! Science demands evidence beyond coincidental timing, folks!

The Neurotypical Mind Lacks The Stubbornness Needed
The stereotype: wild-haired genius who revolutionizes science. The reality: neurodivergent folks who hyperfocus on quantum mechanics instead of small talk. Truth is, physics doesn't attract people who want to be Einstein—it attracts people who'd rather calculate the aerodynamic properties of a flying pig than make eye contact at parties. That stubborn, pattern-seeking brain that society calls "different" is precisely what makes someone stare at equations until the universe makes sense. Newton didn't discover gravity because he was socially well-adjusted; he discovered it because he couldn't stop thinking about falling apples while everyone else was busy having normal conversations.

The Neurodiversity Pipeline
Engineers and chemists discussing how to mask autism in job interviews is like trying to hide a Bunsen burner in a haystack. The real secret? Don't bother. The field is basically a neurodiversity sanctuary where avoiding eye contact is considered efficient time management and obsessive attention to detail is just called "good science." Your autism isn't a bug—it's the industry standard feature.
