I am a perfect example of this problem. I once got hired for a bank job after graduating a trade school (at the top of my class btw), and the bank would not let me disclose my Autism to my coworkers which immediately caused problems as my coworkers had zero idea how to interact with me and thought that I was a pompous jerk and they also wouldn't let my job coach come in to moderate my conversation with my coworkers so someone could translate what they were saying. All of this was also when I JUST lost my father a couple of days after I accepted the job offer and got severe sinusitis that lasted a MONTH because I was depressed from losing my father, but the bank would not grant me grievance leave because I just started. Well, I got fired in less than three months. My job SET ME UP TO FAIL.
I'm confused do you have another person that comes in to the work place to help u like who pays for that are they having to sign an NDA too can u explain?
Unfortunately there are significant sections in our society who pretty much deny the existence of autism except maybe for classic autism. Even with classic autism they'd rather hard-pressed families or maybe charities provided any support, not the state. They think that everyone else with autism is just "choosing to be different" almost as if autism is a lifestyle choice - and a dysfunctional, even deviant one in their view. The idea that an autism diagnosis somehow provides "privileges" in the workplace or elsewhere is ludicrous as not just the difficult experiences of autistic people but the statistics highlighting their difficulties demonstrate. Ultimately too many people are intolerant of any form of difference and unsympathetic to any need for support. Autism just becomes another battlefield in the depressing culture wars.

I’m autistic and recently rejoined the Conservative Party. You’re absolutely spot on regarding Kemi Badenoch. I shall be writing to Rishi Sunak as well as the Conservative Party Chairman and Chairman of the 1922 Committee calling on her to lose her whip immediately to demonstrate zero tolerance towards ableism and sanism within the Conservative Party and calling for a fresh leadership election.
I'm not sure how old you are or how interested in politics you are generally, but there is, if you understand what the Conservative party represents, a serious problem with your position. I don't intend to be antagonistic, but it appears you have very little idea...or perhaps have a skewed view...of why the Conservative party exists, who it represents, and how it operates.
I have a bachelor's degree in international politics. I don't know in what way you think I'm skewed am I too harsh, too nice? I'm trying not to be partisan on here necessarily. I want to campaign for neurodivergent rights, I'll work with anyone who is willing to listen. While I wouldn't vote conservative for a variety of reasons ,I do have respect for individual members or former members of parliament in the one nation wing like Rory Stewart and Robert Buckland, even if I wouldn't agree with them on everything.
@@sjrescapades2256 Is your comment directed at me? My comment was in response to the original comment by @alistairread4711. I was simply highlighting that the Tory Party, from its beginnings to its current form, is a party that not only has no concern for 'neurodivergent rights', but actively causes us harm, and support for them from someone concerned with such rights must be the result of not fully understanding the party's economic and social ideology, not seeing the harm they have done in the last 50 years (at least), and not recognising that 'othering' is one of their go-to methods of getting elected. It's not being 'partisan' to acknowledge that, it is an inescapable conclusion based on empirical evidence.
@@sjrescapades2256 I replied but it seems to have disappeared. Briefly, my comment was in response to the original comment from @alistairread4711 I was trying to point out there are clear contradictions in supporting the Tory Party whilst also being concerned with neurodivergent rights, and these contradictions...given that many of us with autism are kind of obsessive about consistency of thinking...can only be resolved if the person does not have sufficient information about The Tory Party. As an aside, it's not being 'partisan' to say things that are the inescapable conclusions of an analysis of empirical evidence. The Tory party is, both ideologically and in practice, antithetical to the wellbeing of neurodivergent people. And most other people, for that matter.
I listened to this while playing Stardew Valley . I appreciate this video 🩶 In a day where literacy is higher than ever it seems that misinformation is also quite easily spread... so thank you for taking a look at this , i look forward to watching more of your videos !
Clearly there are intelligent people in the Tory party and btw. you should have written, "there ARE no intelligent people left ......" - which I mention because we are writing about intelligence, education and employment here, which you should bear in mind as you 'literally' jump down my throat using your keyboard.
Please don't misquote people, the speech bubble on the frontispiece makes it looks like a quote, nor is it. If there is money chasing around one particular 'disability' that I have come across as a university lecturer that is dyslexia. Its about free laptops, and extended time for exams + oddities like coloured paper in exams (which sometimes baffles pupils (I have also taught at a school) ..... just to say that originally I think private schools held out against diagnoses for reasons of snobbery and pretended their students were never dyslexic, now it is the opposite, I suppose they regard the extra equipment and time in exams as a rebate on the school fees, are private schools receiving direct funding per every dyslexic pupil? After all it is unsurprising that you tend to do better in exams if you get an extra half-hour or more ..... yep and free laptops at university and in extreme cases a personal scribe to take down lecture notes just for you (not sure who paid for that level of 'one on one' assistance?) It has become quite a racket IMO and I think many parents would like an autism diagnosis not just for the cash but also because it sort of explains what might otherwise be thought of as their 'fault'. BTW, do you think autism runs in families? it is something that I have heard and which makes parental relief at having the diagnosis all the more, relieving? The other daft thing is the 'everyone is on the spectrum' commonplace so if we all are, well, what is the point of saying one is autistic anyway? ... it's an unhelpful and silly cliché.

I chose not to claim the adult version out of internalised ableism. The expression "everyone is a little autistic" is incredibly harmful and wrong. If you look at my video on how Nazi ideology shaped our understanding of autism, I explain that the original Autistic spectrum was about whether autistic children would be useful to the Nazi state or whether they should be killed under Aktion T4. The spectrum, in modern discourse, does not run from autistic to "normal" its about the way in which different autistic people show a variety of traits in different ways, which is something I also briefly cover in my video about being rejected from the army for being autistic. Autism also has a strong overlap with dyspraxia, something that has made it very difficult to write at pace, I would have failed my GCSEs and A levels without, extra time. I think the views you are expressing are very cynical, and while you may find accommodating disabilities an inconvenience that does not mean, that they are not real.
@@sjrescapades2256 yes, I am very cynical about the way Dyslexia is used by those with 'sharp elbowed' parents to gain leverage for their offspring and I don't think autism diagnoses are used in the same way, only in the last 4 lines of my response to your video do I address autism at all. I didn't know that autism was accepted as a trait that ran in families, all I know about the subject comes from conversations with my Mum (now in her late 80s and retired, but still an extremely intelligent and active woman) who was the principal child psychologist in our town responsible for diagnosing autism - I thought her view on the inheritance of the 'condition' (I don't know what word is acceptable these days) from parents wasn't accepted, however she retired a few years ago so any recent ideas may be unknown to her now. She told me how eager parents were for a positive diagnosis and I thought some money did flow, but I never thought it was as blatant or luctrative as the dyslexia racket .... I used dyslexia as a parallel situation that appeared to me to be exploited financially by many different parties linked to children. As for the speech bubble on the photo, I don't care, you shouldn't make it appear as if she had said what she hadn't - its called 'clickbait' and it is a scurrilous practice. It got me to click, it worked.
what you're referring to here as "game of life" is simply all of the legal and economic ways we organise society, which could all be changed to be more equal were people actually empowered to change their conditions, rather than delegating political power to one person who usually only gets picked based on how much money they're able to spend campaigning
