I hate that some people call ASD a disability.

100%

Different people have different challenges. For me ASD is both very challenging at times but also a superpower.

since unemployment is so high.

It’s not though. Currently 4.2% which is on the low end of historical averages and what is considered “normal”. Not to discount your point but just to counter the ongoing narrative - largely false - about the current economy.

This drives me bananas.

On the one hand as someone with ASD, yeah, I would have loved to have a little more understanding growing up but on the other you do not get a free pass just because you are some flavor of “special”. Everyone is special. Everyone is a weird combination of neurotypcial and neurodivergent it’s just a matter of degree and how it’s all put together. When you say someone is neurotypical… how do you even know?

When you say that something is not your fault because you are neurodivergent did you even try to find a work-around? Did you try to find away to make the other person more comfortable? Did you try to exercise the understanding you demand of others? Or did you just say you don’t have to?

Oh please. Get over yourself.

I just wanna know where I can get one of those suits.

“We should call our representatives”

“na na why should I bother? This requires effort and I have to figure out what to say. And anyway my cynicism dictates that it doesn’t matter. na na blah blah”

“How do you know, you’ve never tried”

“I just know blah blah they don’t care blah blah”

“Well, you’ve definitely proved that not calling produces no results”
