Here we go again...neurodiversity and vaccines-and suicide

I recently asked people on a survival forum (yes, I've been allowed back, more on that in another post) about what really is so bad about being neurologically different, in light of a Washington Post article about the neurodiversity acceptance movement. Immediately people started debating the whole vaccine thing again, I guess because the idea of neurodivergent people who do not want to be "cured" is something they can't bear to face.

Also, I learned a lot about mothers of ASD kids who regularly contemplate suicide, mainly because they have no support and no respite from what apparently are more severe cases of ASD than mine. The kid has autism, so hubby walks out and finds another model to tinker with, and all your "friends" suddenly decide that they never really liked you anyway, and bail. You can't work, so you go on welfare (once AFDC, now TANF, and facing yet another overhaul in Congress right now) and now EVERYBODY hates you. So, you decide to cash out early, and to take your kid with you.

WAIT! You need to know that you and your ASD kid have value, despite what other people think. As a radical conservative, I do hate people who get SSI for "anxiety" so they can sell drugs/women, chop up stolen cars, and run psychic scams (yes, there really was a case ages ago in Redding where a woman glommed onto SSI as a cover for running a cursed money scam) with impunity. And then there's the people who suffer for all that shit. People who really need assistance.

It seems that all the jobs have been exported, leaving Americans to sell cheap hamburgers to each other for money. As long as there are no jobs, the country will have to figure out ways to feed people. The English solution, where welfare is simply ended leaving millions to starve in the streets, is probably not viable in a country where the number of guns equals the number of people. So, the government will have to feed people. FDR's solution, which was moving city workers to the country so at least they could feed themselves, seems to not be on the table, probably because TPTB don't like the idea of people being independent.

So, what are families of ASD people to do? Living in rundown suburbs, unable to grow their own food which would at least give the kid (and mom) a reason to get up in the morning, and everybody around you deals drugs to survive. In that case, victimhood seems really appealing, especially when everybody else does it too. What's the answer? I don't know, except eventually TPTB are gonna try gas chambers again, what with 7 billion people on earth and 100 million added every year.
