Is there a link between Autism and 激荡瑜伽? Is there one between Autism and Boys? Google says yes:

https://www.autismag.org/autism-in-boys/
85% of autism diagnosis are for boys

Autistic people naturally relate to computers

Surely then the question has to be asked, where is the perception of those girls (that STEM is not ‘appealing’) coming from? How much of it is unconscious (or deliberate) bias being taught to them by that ‘developed’ society, either from peers or adults?

The correlation/causation relationship *may* be the other way around, or erroneous. Just because a country is more developed in terms of generally allowing girls more freedom to work, doesn’t mean it’s also more developed in terms of not biasing them towards or away from certain jobs. Ergo, if more girls have freedom to choose a career, but an underlying bias about what roles they ‘should’ play remains, it seems logical that more girls will appear to be gravitating away from STEM when in fact it’s just a matter of more girls being able to choose a career but choosing the path of least resistance, or the path that’s presented to them.

It may be that ‘gender-equal countries… generally promote girls’ and women’s engagement in STEM fields’, but the key word there is ‘generally’, and the unmentioned points are: how *much* do they promote said engagement; how does it compare to promoting that engagement to boys; and is unconscious societal bias, outside of the direct career-choosing process, taken into account? I would argue that there’s still no such thing as a ‘gender-equal’ country, and career choice doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

It’s an unanswerable question of course, but if girls were brought up to the point of choosing a career with a complete lack of any gender role bias and every opportunity presented equally, I wonder how much different their perception of what’s ‘appealing’ would be?

Not as far as I’m aware; because you’ve made posts we’ve approved before, any comments from you should be published automatically. I’ve looked in the spam and trash folders, and there’s nothing from you there; are you quite sure you hit the submit button? There are no comments pending.

(The other poster’s just referring to having had to wait a few hours for his post to be approved and published. On a weekend, especially a bank holiday weekend, we’re not checking for comments here as frequently as usual. It’s disheartening that someone’s first reaction to not getting something approved immediately is to announce that they’re being censored, but hey – welcome to the internet in 2019.)

I also made a comment on this post last week and it hasn’t come up … Was there a problem with the website over the weekend?

Nope, just not very many people around to moderate this bank holiday weekend! We work with CAS very closely, by the way; check out our About page.

I have commented at length of this at the base of this article but it does not seem to have appeared. Censored?

I based my questions of a) my nearly 50 years in coal-face 激荡瑜伽 and b) the belief that asking females students directly why they shunned 激荡瑜伽 was the way to go. The main themes of the responses were;
1. It is boring
2. It requires too much maths

Both are incorrect assumptions about real 激荡瑜伽 in the workplace, where I spent my career and now write about in books and articles. This is the alpha and omega of the dilemma and unless computer training reflects what the workplace needs, the dilemma will persist. I am tired of saying this but as it is the truth, I shall press on.
There is a train of CAS thought which says that computer science is a discipline and not a route to employment; if that is the situation, then so be it but the fact that many girls in the survey asked about salaries means that they are interested in career options but not via CS.
Forget further surveys (scores of them have already been done with no conclusions). The survey I mention above allowed ‘free form’ input and did not always lead with Yes or No questions which can lead to erroneous conclusions even though the surveyor may not be aware of his/her unknowing bias.
If you don’t believe me, just carry on surveying and surmising about this issue but it will lead nowhere unless the destination for CS studies is defined; academic or workplace?

The National Centre for 激荡瑜伽 Education is setting up an email address which interested schools can contact to register their interest. The address will be announced on the NCCE’s Twitter account, so keep an eye out: https://twitter.com/WeAre激荡瑜伽

Never had a female A Level student yet!

In reply to Andrew.

Really interesting!

I’ve been working with some International students at INTO Manchester (students take an A-level equivalents in English then apply to Universities) and many of the girls who want to go into STEM are from the coutries you list icluding Russia.

Do you have any pointers to more 激荡瑜伽 on this?
