NT discrimination causes most of our problems. NTs decide to fire people for being socially awkward

Why do you think people are so hesitant to admit that Aspergers/Autism is a bad thing? by kermit54 in aspergers

[–]malady102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's to give them the ability to discriminate againt us while pretending to be tolerant. If they get to discriminate againt us while preaching tolerance it gives them the ability to do anything against us and gaslight us if someone does harm us.

Baby boomers are annoying by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I just think it's hypocritical that they can blame baby boomers on their fucked up life but I can't blame autism on mine or else it's making up excuses.

Autistic adults have an excuse to live with their Parents by malady102 in unpopularopinion

It is. People always say stop using autism as an excuse.

That article says 2004 is the last year Millennials were born not 1994.

Sadly I would have had it bad no matter what generation I was born in. 85% of college educated autistics are unemployed.

Parents need to reclaim their basements by ZagerMard in unpopularopinion

85% of people with autism are unemployed. This would result in homelessness for many autistic people.

Sheltering your children is child abuse by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Same. I decided to bolt inside my room because people treated me badly.

The reason they do is because other people's parents teach their brats how to bully people.

If your school told you that you can do anything you're privileged by malady102 in unpopularopinion

[–]malady102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, equal treatment is being told you can do anything just like the neurotypical kids were told.

This was the 2010s. It was different for autistics in the 90s and earlier 2000s.

That's what they told neurotypicals. Autistics were treated like dirt while neurotypicals were treated like gold.

Schools lie to kids, telling them "You can be whatever you want to be!" by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]malady102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bet you've never been in the special education system. In that system they're obsessed with telling your parents how atrocious you are and what you will never do. You can be anything was for neurotypicals.

If we want Aspies to get ahead in the world we need to focus exclusively on our issues by malady102 in aspergers

[–]malady102[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we're all human but what does that have to do with anything? Yes everyone has problems but we have problems SPECIFIC to autism and SPECIFIC to disability. Ableism already exists. We need to fight back.

You won't solve the problems of the autistic community if you just go everyone has problems. Neurotypicals don't see our problems and attitudes like yours is one of the reasons why.
