Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.

Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
As a diagnosed, high-functioning autistic and ADHD person - although I would say barely-functioning is more accurate - I know I would still struggle in society even under an advanced stage of socialism.
This is why I don't like when people say it is not a disability but merely a neurological difference, I know they mean well but it is a take that is detached from reality. I can acheive what people without my disabilities can but to get there is far harder for me, it's like I have to walk through the mud while others naturally get given their own rally car.
Anyway, I know that with the right support offered and the necessary societal reforms made, I would struggle a lot less and could actually be in a role which utilises some of my more 'unique gifts' such as strong visual memory, heightened senses, fast problem-solving, calmness under chaos e.t.c. And this will never happen under a profit driven society, capitalism will adapt to autistics but not for the benefit of autists but to better utilise them/us as those 'useful weirdos' in the money making machine.
Yeah well said man, and I wasn't criticising you if it came across that way it was not intended, I was just sharing my perspective on top of what you said.
This has been my experience too to the point where if someone came up with a working medication to turn me neurotypical I’d take it in a heartbeat. That could be internalized ableism though, I dunno.
Idk, I like some parts about being the different way I am, I get why you feel that way though.
