>depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, OCD are all disabilities...>b-b-but autism magically isn'tTell me, what is one thing that autism DOESN'T have in common with all of these?Autism condemns you to a lot of pointless suffering. Not because the society treats you like trash, but because it makes your life far more difficult, not unlike every other impairment.
>>82890286>severe mental illness makes life hard.I thought this was common knowledge. People with bpd, major depression, schizophrenia, and autism have far harder lives. People with anxiety, ADHD, and ocd can fuck off. I'm a schizo. In any other time in history I would have been subjected to immense cruelty. If I don't take my medication, I'm subjected chemical restraints and imprisonment.
>>82890286Autism is considered a disability. The only problem I faced int hat regard is not getting any NEETbux because it wasn't documented when I was a child or with 18 months of my last employment, but I get all of the other benefits for disabled and low income adults.
>>82890335How much do you get? I'm currently leeching off family because it takes like half a year to process a disability claim.
>>82890389No cash benefits, just Medicaid, Snap and low cost paratransit ride share service which I rarely use but the card gets me unlimited free rides on buses and trains.
>>82890325i agree all mental illness make life much harder. that being said...> I'm subjected chemical restraintsi have never heard of anyone with autism getting jabbed.
>>82890286Uhm autism is in fact a disability.If you have diagnosis you can get disability bux
>>82890389I get 380 eurotokens. I live in eastern europe, but I need to engage in society for them. Like study or work at least some hours per month or be registered in creative union and shit like that. Well also some stuff like museums and public transport are cheaper
>>82890325As someone dealing with anxiety and being bipolar, I feel that anxiety can be just as damaging but you can learn to deal with it. It's like breaking a bone vs being born crippled, both leaves you unable to function but at least one of them can be fixed.
because it affects you based on external factors rather than internal factors.if you had your dream society set-up-for-autistic-people you wouldn't have those social problems or sensory difficulties any more, would you?meanwhile, people with actual disabilities would stay disabled.
>>82891258If you lived in a society where you didnt need to use hands, lacking hands would stop being a disability?
