what societal change do you think needs to occur about this issue?

IMO, I think it's worthwhile for society to take an active interest in helping integrate kids & young people who are lagging behind socially. There are programs that claim to try to do this today, but I didn't really ever get any help, I just got told what to do & that I'd go in a windowless box if I didn't do that.

If you get to be 30 & you're still in that position, like I am idk how much there is that can be done, because a lot of the contributing factors to the issue have become ossified/terminal.

Socialization is very much a "rich get richer, poor get poorer" (if you'll excuse the analogy) situation, in my experience.
