I'm an Autistic 29 year old guy who can do everything normally, but I can really struggle with finding a job and keeping a job. Hearing what RFK Jr. had to say about the Autistic community, we need to show up on the streets to show that we can stand up on our own have our voices be heard loud and clear. The Trump admin wants to make it sound like they have good intentions for us, but that is not the case! We already live difficult lives fitting into society as we can do just about everything by ourselves but still be socially different. It's not supposed to be a curse, but it is. I didn't go for the April 5th or April 19th protests. I also feel left out not attending any of the BLM protests back in 2020 while all my other family members got to attend one. I live in Portland, a very politically active city.
It was a nice concept in the 2010s when it was like an advanced version of Couchsurfing or a digital version of a homestay. Then of course it became an unsustainable business model and went to dogs when it became a money making scheme for finance bros to buy up housing and charge 4-star hotel prices.
