And things are not getting any better. In the European Union, there are already laws in place, denying driver's licenses to autistic people. Driver's licenses, which are a gateway to vast majority of jobs out there. We are being denied gun licenses, even though the training programs in the EU are designed in such a way, they accidentally screen out autistic people, who would actually prove dangerous with a firearm. Meanwhile, autism is NOT considered a cause for denial of pilot's license, even as a commercial pilot on A380!
Worse yet, is that we can get employed by companies, that seek us out solely on the count of our disability, not to help us, or have us do something for them. Rather to boast about how helpful they are, while paying us minimum wage, even for highly skilled labor like network admin, programmer, accountant or HR representative. imagine the horror of every day life, knowing that you went to uni, finished it with no student debt, but are in the same boat as those, who have massive debts, because the only wage you can ask for, doesn't cover the rent. Only because your brain is wired a bit differently and everybody these days is far too willing to pay with other people's freedom and liberty for their perception of their safety.
