I am both on the Autistic Spectrum and have severe treatment-resistant Bipolar.

After 25 jobs and with the threat of my disability benefits being yanked from me due to having too many work attempts, I accepted fate and now I barely leave the house and remain dependent on my disability benefits. On the brightside, I am now married, so that huge burden of trying to find a wife has been lifted off my shoulders.

Now there are more profound issues that have worsened. My moods have become severe, I cannot handle being "overstimulated" with stressing situations or I fall apart, and now I have unrestrained meltdowns in public.

As I have grown older and more distant from normal life social situations, I have found it incredibly challenging to handle them. Masking my deficiencies have become increasingly difficult too. I used to be able to play it off well until I couldn't no longer and people started to notice. Now, it is always a challenge.

So much for DEI, right? Instead of abusing the race card, shoving rainbow people crap in our faces, and the hostility towards white men for their so-called "privilege", there were groups of people who were actually suffering: those on the Autistic Spectrum and those with mental illness.

The kicker? Many of these people possess exceptional strengths that employers fail to recognize, because these strengths (like attention to detail or a fixation/expertise in certain areas) are often overlooked just because of a lack of soft skills.

Over 80 percent of those on the Autistic Spectrum are unemployed or grossly underemployed.

Those with bipolar disorder experience between a 40% to 60% unemployment rate.

So instead of the outrage over illegal aliens from broken nations and putting completely unqualified people into positions because they are black, why not consider the talents of people who are either on the Autistic Spectrum or have a mental illness? The left is loony and have lost touch with reality a long time ago.

I point this out because I have an Austistic Spectrum Disorder and have severe mental illness. I have held 25 jobs in a span of 15 years and I now collect disability checks. It is a damn shame because I possess so many talents and multifaceted.
