I think you maybe misunderstood what I was saying. I’m saying that neurodivergence is why some people thrive at certain jobs that others would find exhausting.

Ergo we should test for ability, not some arbitrary representation of race, sex, or other non-task related metric.



Testing for ability is exactly what they were originally doing before the NBCFAE got involved in the FAA's well established hiring process.

I get your point, but to be clear this is already what they were doing since 1989 up until 2013.


Yes, exactly. They had it on lock until someone decided that we should not be selecting for the arguably unusual traits that foster excellence and talent retention in ATC.
