Guys autism has always existed. It didn’t get labeled as a disorder until the industrial era and they wanted worker bees so if you guys wanna keep sitting there and saying that you have a disorder because you don’t fit the industrial definition go ahead

Sorry that’s the unemployment rate. The suicide rate is five times higher than your average person so please tell me how the current framework is helping people.

But how please because this current framework of disability is doing nothing the only thing we’re doing is people making themselves feel like they’re less than because society keeps saying that they have a disorder which increases the suicide rates so please please keep telling me how this disorder label is helping
