Neurotypicals treat us like garbage. When we're children, they don't want to be our friends. They don't let us on their sports teams or in their clubs. They bully the crap out of us.
When we reach adulthood, it's not much better. No matter how smart we are, no matter how educated we are, regardless of our qualifications, neurotypicals don't want to hire us. No wonder more than 80% of autistic adults are unemployed. Thus, many autistics are forced to live on some form of social assistance, which is basically legislated poverty.
But of course, the neurotypicals will blame us for not fitting in. They'll tell us it's our fault for not having social skills, it's our fault for not making eye contact, it's our fault for not putting ourselves out there. Basically, it's our fault for being autistic.
Worse still, most of those who claim to support us don't really support us. They support converting us to neurotypicals. This is why we have s**t like ABA/IBI therapy, which is basically autism conversion therapy that parents of autistic children go broke paying for. This autism conversion therapy is as wrong as conversion therapy for gays. It ought to be banned.
Besides, no matter how neurotypical we become, no matter how much our social skills or eye contact improve, the neurotypicals will still not accept us.
So what do we do about it? We're not a major voting bloc, so we can't really exercise political power. Honestly, to bring attention to our persecution, we may have no choice but to resort to illegal methods, even violence, because I don't know how else we're going to persuade neurotypicals to stop ostracizing us and treating us like s**t.
