I really feel like I’m on my way to another mental breakdown, nobody going to be here to help me, so I’m sooooo scared.
The U.S is a hell hole for disabled folk. The U.K is pretty terrible, but you can generally get services for 'free', even if you have to wait a bazillion years and then get limited resources.
The best thing about the U.K is that the benefits system allows you to receive disabled benefits whilst working & disabled benefits are considered to be money paid to offset the extra costs of disability. In the U.S, from what I have heard, disabled benefits are just as hard to get as in the U.K, but with the added obstacle of being disincentivized from working if you receive them?
The only good point I have found about the U.S is that they seem to respect Autistic folk a bit more and treat them as 'normal' (or at least pretend to) - some NT's do, anyway. The tough 'jock' types just seem to not acknowledge disabled folk, like they are invisible, which personally I don't mind.
British folk have this mildy disgusted look a lot of the time looking at disabled folk. They acknowledge you, unlike the Americans who are socially advantaged, but acknowledge you with disdain. It's written all over their faces and if it isn't, it speaks in their actions.
That has been my lived experience, anyway.
