God this is depressing. What kind of world do we live in and when will we start creating a better one?

I grew up in a house with parents who always taught us equal rights for all. My mom avoided churches where women were banned from leadership positions and served as a leader in different capacities at different points in my life. One of my brothers ended up baptist for some reason and I can’t figure it out. He’s racist, homophobic, and a misogynist. Complete opposite of how we were raised. It’s so sad.
For sure! It’s so frustrating. I didn’t get any assistance as a kid so it wasn’t a shock for me when I became an adult. My niece and nephew though…they’re growing up with a lot of assistance that won’t be there very long. I hope by the time they grow up resources for adults will actually be around.
This is such a joke.
We do a little bit of everything. We meet monthly and we keep it open forum so anyone can bring topics and get advice, support, or celebrate a win. We also do manager trainings on different conditions, walk people through the accommodations process, and mediate employee/manager issues. I’ve also done a couple of interviews and panels for different parts of the company. One of which they used clips of for Instagram. I was pretty excited about that.
Having the group has saved my career. I just need that extra support and understanding.
I got a job in R&D and it’s great. I also work for a great company so there’s that. I lead the Neurodivergent Support Group for my company! I really got lucky as I realize so many of us have issues with employment.
I think the issue is that we should just be feeding the kids point blank regardless of their income level. When I was in school, I was denied lunch on a couple of occasions because I forgot my lunch money and wasn’t on free lunch. That certainly doesn’t help anyone learn.
