I hesitated to say it, but I'm gonna say it: I appreciated Extraordinary Attorney Woo's representation; but, it kept getting close to pointing out that many ND behaviors often manifest in "neurotypicals," and I needed them to just say it with their whole chest... 1/2

(I cannot believe it's 2025 and we're still having those discussions but oh hey, this is the dark timeline sigh)

I grew up being literally taught that - if your job doesn't create economic value equal to food and housing, then you don't deserve to have enough money for food and housing. It's a pretty horrific world view, and a lot of conservative policies are "justified" using this thinking.

Wow yeah I grew up in a Catholic school so was taught everyone deserved food and housing

American Conservatism managed to overrule the Catholicism here; "Sure, they deserve food and housing, but who is going to pay for it?" with the implied answer of "sure as hell not me" And thus we have food programs such as "Okay you can have some food but that food has to be terrible"

If anything, this Capitalistic society does everything it can to make Autistic people feel unwelcomed and unequal. So often, our differences are seen as burdens to the machine and "potential risks" to employers/bosses. There's a reason I don't say I'm autistic on my resume.

Thank you.
