| Like how do you not worry about going homeless, retirement, not worry about what happens when your parents die, and so on. Like short of doing drugs/drinking, I am open to trying things that might help. I feel like I'm smart enough to know how messed over I am after trying so hard. But not smart eno... |

| Because they have been screwed for decades by our one-party neoliberal system. When you're desperate, you'll cling to anyone who appears to be an alternative, even if it's not a particularly good one. This and the fact that he actually got some companies to stay within the USA and kept some jobs be... |

| I'm afraid this has been known for 200 years. Even in the 19th century psychiatrists knew that incarceration doesn't help in rehabilitation of mental disability. I think it doesn't help the bulk of the time even in a normal person. IMO this is the biggest thing that needs to be fixed. Like states s... |

| What about those of us who are on the list to be assessed? You can change your vote, but this is unscientific and just out there. I asked on Reddit autism page and 160 voted. It's about 60% likely of being unemployed and if you're educated then it's close to half. But this was posted the same time ... |

| Because of things, I figure it is worth making a poll. Note this is just for autistic adults only, and this is going to be separated by college graduated or not For those of you who don't have a job, I would like to know what keeps you from being homeless, how long you haven't had a STABLE job, and ... |

| Assuming you had $1 million in hand, what would you do with it? Like if you won the lottery and you now have $1 million after taxes. For me, $1 million isn't enough to live off of. I think I would take about a quarter of that and invest into stocks, and take another quarter and invest it in other pl... |

The problem with me joining the SSI is I have way more than enough money to disqualify myself from it. I've been able to earn money thr... |

| Tutor.com I made 10-12 dollars/hour for tutoring Trig and Calc, and that was a decade ago; I'm sure wages have gone up. I made hundreds of dollars per month, depending on the hours I chose. I will take a look into that if I understood you correctly, you said that you want to work about 8 hours per ... |

| I wonder if many advocates have themselves considered the potential danger of trying to create a “group identity”? I wonder if “autistic guilt” for our burden on society will ever come about? I doubt it. The fact is I've seen it a few times where people try to push for disability rights, but we and... |

| So I'm in some cross roads right now. Like if I get kicked out of my parents place then I 100% would go homeless and die. However, I honestly am not sure I could realistically hold down a job more than an hour or 2 a day IF THAT due to my current mental state. Long story short, I went through 4 degr... |

| Unless if I missed it, I'm shocked workplace bullying wasn't talked about. Looking around even here workplace bullying causes a lot of problems beyond just the normal bullying itself. Because this can and tends to extend to people in power (managers and so on). It makes the autistic person worry con... |

| Hundreds of complaints from multiple states in a country this populous is not statistically significant in any way. They aren't looking at all the states. Like in my state Trump won.
