#saw this on the i obvs #it’s on the guardian as well #not bbc. curious #ableism #I mean straight up mask off ableism #kemi badenoch #uk politics #economic advantages jfc #like just look at the statistics for unemployed autistic people and you can see how absurd it is #the job market is shit as is but it’s SO FUCKING HARD when part of the barrier to entry is this weird social dance that involves kind of #lying but only the right amount and saying the right things that may or may not be the whole truth #not to mention the increased stress of Going to a New Place to do a New Thing #I’m trying to move out of my parents’ so everything I’m applying for is all across the country #which means I’ll be travelling by public transport (SUPER HARD COS SENSORY ISSUES) to get to any interviews in the first place #and while I hesitate to say I’m “high functioning” cos I’m really not I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 20 and I functioned fine in school #except socially but hey who cares about THAT right it was probably my own fault for being a bit weird
