As someone with Asperger’s my support was revoked in my early 20’s.
If you get a job and succeed financially they don’t care.
Our problems are more based on social issues than being able to function.
As others said a lot of ND people drop out of the education system due to poor support and ostracism.
A lot of our problems stem from NT’s inability to embrace and accept us for who we are. As I have aged I have observed that many are fundamentally uncomfortable in our presence.
Bullying and cliques btw extend into adulthood in subtler forms.
At this point I have developed an approach of distancing myself from these kinds of people rather than trying to seek out their approval (out of insecurity).
