Societal support and pathway to improve lives and increase societal benefits as a whole

Do people think that there is enough support for Aspies, to allow us to reach our full potential and thus give back and enhance society as a whole through our individual specialisations and abilities?

  • As far as I can see, the support is treating everyone as total failures so anything up from there is a success - I don't think they even understand the concept that aspies can be encouraged to become extraordinary!

    With enough early intervention and clever enough sponsor, the sky is the limit.

  • That's what I'm considering is, that with a fiscal plan to nurture aspies and help people develop and focus (like that's hard!) on things were good at to enhance our potential, which benefits not only ourselves but wider society with the knock on effects from what we can achieve.

  • The key is catching them early enough and spotting their potential - that's the challenge.

    Once they're screwed up, locked up and shut down, the opportunity is lost.     I think it's got to be pre-8 years old.

  • I had spent seven years creating a niche as a youtuber with 22k subs but that was part of the fall when 3-4 years ago i had a water leak which destroyed my system, prevented me from competing any more at a semi-pro level in  team sponsored by Razer. Combined with at the time losing most of my sight, having my driving licence removed and being unable to work due to severe disabilities as well, so it all came crashing down after a decade ago realising I was unemployable. Trying to work on something else as the falls always seem to freak me out and force be into a new area as the memories of the troubled work environments mentally forces me away from areas where i had years or decades of experience. Considering doing patreon & a reboot of youtube in some way for my remaining 20k subscribers and my 1400 video's on that platform.

  • Are you throwing yourself into the NT world or are you carving out your own niche?

  • As you say that selfishness may be the normal way of being, that was just one aspect of normies i could not understand & i shut down because i could not cope with the issues with dealing with them any more and the stress of pretending to be like them. Now i am hoping for a different way forward, I see a tunnel out of the dark room i have hidden in for the past decade and i'm hoping it's real and not a mirage, but i'm opening myself up to fail again, hiding in the dark was painful and just numb nothingness because the world was so much more painful to deal with. Seeing how it goes from here on in, fingers crossed.
