I notice myself doing this quite often. I just go about my daily life doing mostly mundane tasks that wouldn't normally raise an eyebrow. But having been living in post-dev world for the last 15ish years, I take notice of things that would probably be fun for a dev to watch. Like today, my robot vac wouldn't work because it had run over a velcro strap that wrapped around the brush. I'm a C-5 quad so you might think I'd have to wait for someone to come over and fix it. But fuck that. I can do this. I reached for one of my high-tech tools (a stretched out wire coat hangar) and flipped it over to see what the problem was. I struggled for a bit with another reacher but the strap wouldn't budge. This was going to need some close-up work so I hooked it with my hangar and lifted it onto my feet. Then I raised my foot rest up so my legs were straight and pulled the vacuum up to my lap where I could work on it. I used my handy utility scissors to cut away the strap and spent the better part of the next half-hour cleaning string and hair out of the brush. I repeated the process in reverse to get the vacuum back to the floor. A pretty boring thing by itself but I couldn't help but think there's a dev out there that would probably love to be watching me work. Just a thought.

As a dev who's also disabled, I've done the same thing! Granted, my disability isn't a common interest of devs, but I've met a few autism devs on other forums, and I've found myself wondering what aspects of my daily life would turn them on.

I'm just curious because I really don't know much about autism but how does it present itself that would be a turn on? I'm probably not wording this correctly, sorry. What do you differently that would be attractive specifically to devs?

I'm just curious because I really don't know much about autism but how does it present itself that would be a turn on? I'm probably not wording this correctly, sorry. What do you differently that would be attractive specifically to devs? Stimming is the big one that comes to mind. I instinctively flap my hands when I'm excited, I could see that being a dev turn-on. Personally, I'm turned on by highly specific cognitive inabilities a lot. For example a lot of my fetish stories have a scene where someone suddenly realizes they've forgotten how to do an everyday task like dressing themselves. I have some hyperspecific cognitive inabilities like that myself, like not being able to feel time passing. Fluctuating abilities is another thing. For example if I listen to a painful noise too long, I start being unable to do things I can usually do (like walk without staggering), and only get those skills back after I've had some time to rest. Fluctuating abilities is also a dev turn-on for me, to the point where I sometimes think it's most accurate to describe my devotee fetish as a type of transformation fetish, in the same category as stuff like gender TF or bimboification or so forth. I guess I'm just barely removed from having a fetish for my own disability! Lol.

I imagine that the dev only sees, I usually think about it when I clean my wheelchair. In the office where I work, there is a colleague who worries a lot because I don't move my hands normally and she tells me: what if you exercise?, if they move them? Or with an operation it cannot be corrected or improved? I answer no, I couldn't, but in my mind a voice says: if you knew that this is exciting for other people.

I remember a coworker asking me something about moving my hands. I honestly don’t remember the conversation but I used to stop by her office every once in a while and hold my hand out and strain my face like I was trying to move it really hard. I’d relax and tell her “nope, still doesn’t work.“

I’ve got that same fuck that attitude when it comes for asking for help and waiting. The other day the crane in the box of my truck wouldn’t swivel. So my chair was stuck in the back and me in the cab. I was able to recline my seat and open my back slider window. Then using a telescopic snow brush proceeded to manually push my crane. When I couldn’t push the swing any further I opened my truck door and using the same snow brush hooked my chairs wheel and pulled it the rest of the way to my door. We see the problems and work out unconventional solutions. Because a lot of the time we don’t have much choice.
