Would people rather be ignorant...

Angnix, I would recommend you stop talking to your uncle and family about your plans, hopes and dreams, it is clear they want to sabotage you and keep you dependent.

I would ask your social worker for resources to help you. Or just google Michigan developmental disabilities. If you have a formal diagnosis of autism from before your 18th birthday, get a copy of that and hang on to it.

Many of us older people got out and on our own without the supports available now. So if you don’t have or don’t want government supports, you can still get out. It takes determination or, in my case, desperation. Or both.

I hope you find a way to get out and follow your dreams.
