To those who have Autism, what is your view on society as a whole?
Simply put: It’s broken and inefficient.

We waste 13 of the best learning years of a child’s life on a one-size-fits-all sampler plate model of education, punctuated with meaningless standardized testing, instead of building personalized curriculum plans for students based on their personal interests, personal academic needs, and life goals. Then, when they’re 18 and allowed to finally choose what to focus on academically, we charge them an arm, a leg, and a sibling’s physical body to do so…and still cram in off-major stuff that the student isn’t interested in and doesn’t need as a mandatory requirement, wasting both their time and their money!

Our employment system is rather asinine. We have whether or not a person gets a job at all be based solely on whether or not they have a broad enough social circle outside of their family and how much the interviewer likes them on a personal level, leading to a lot of instances of hiring the wrong person for the wrong job because they were popular and charismatic enough. We established a minimum wage but failed to tie it to inflation, instead putting it in the hands of a bunch of crusty old politicians to decide whether or not to manually raise it every few years. This has led to stagnant wages for the majority of the population and a minimum wage that fails in its initial intent to be a wage floor that ensures that no working American will be so poor as to not be able to afford their basic living expenses. We allow a handful of rich snobs to dictate what jobs are and are not even available, in what quantity, and how much they pay, leading to massive amounts of wasted human talent, skill, and potential as people try and scramble for the best paying job available, not the best job for them based on their skills, talents, and interests. And in a society where everyone is expected to work, they make it unnecessarily hard to become employed.

Our society is filled with busybodies who don’t know how to leave other people well enough alone. Always with the social and economic pressure and shaming to try and force people to live how these stick-in-the-mud busybodies think a person should live. Who cares who someone dates so long as all parties involved in the relationship are either all consenting adults or all consenting adolescents? Who cares what a person does with their own reproductive organs so long as they aren’t using them to violate another person’s bodily autonomy? If there are already enough people voluntarily producing essential goods and services like food, healthcare, and housing, why do you care that there are people who would rather make art, or make music, or write books, or garden, or build furniture in their garage all day or whatever than wear a tacky uniform and kiss strangers’ butts all day? They need to learn to concentrate on finding and doing things that make them truly, personally happy instead of trying to police other people’s pursuit of happiness.

We have more than enough food production, utilities infrastructure, healthcare infrastructure, and housing stock to make sure no one goes without these basic essentials…and yet, we treat access to these things as a privilege for those who are able to pay the prices private industries charge, and not a right. Massive amounts unsold of food go to the landfill every year while millions starve. We have more vacant houses and apartments than homeless people, and yet the housing market continues to price even basic homes out of the reach of many. We live in an age of plenty, and yet far too many go without the basics for no good reason. It’s completely idiotic!

We know that over-dependence on the automobile is bad for our planet and our wallets. We know that people want walkable cities, towns, and neighborhoods where they don’t have to hop in the car every time they need to pick up a pack of AAA batteries from the store two blocks away because of a lack of basic pedestrian infrastructure like safe crosswalks and consistent sidewalk coverage. We know people like pedestrian plazas, protected bike lanes, neighborhoods with mixed-use development (retail space on the bottom floor, apartments or offices on the upper floors, for example), reliable and frequently-running public transit, and other human-friendly infrastructure. However, we keep pandering to the car, with some people fighting tooth and nail against changes that would reduce the amount of space allotted for cars in our cities and towns and give that space back to people. The bad thing is, we don’t even maintain our car-oriented infrastructure all that well because our roads and bridges are crumbling like saltines over soup! It’s insane!

There are people who are more than willing to maintain this horrid status quo because they want to preserve their own personal social status. Those fools don’t feel whole without someone to look down on, so they want to keep this system broken and inefficient to keep a ready supply of “At Least I’m Not That Guy” targets to point at when they realize how much they hate their own lives, no matter how cooshie and luxurious they are. They chase wealth and status, thinking it will make them happy, get depressed and anxious when they find those things don’t actually do the trick, and instead of looking for something that will actually make them happy…well, they just look for ways to make other people more miserable than they are so they can buoy their spirits with pure schadenfreude. It’s F-ed up! These people don’t need money and power, they need a freaking shrink!

So, yeah, this autistic person’s verdict on society is that it’s broken, inefficient, and an all-around hot mess.

WhatsApp is a good idea

Ok.

Medianna:
That was very thoughtful of you.
But i fear blind date thanks

Not a blind date, you both can talk on WhatsApp, do video calls, ask questions and get to know each other better before talking about meeting up.

Medianna:
You're sure that 'cousin' of yours is not you right?

Yeah not me. I also stay in Abuja, but I am not ready for a serious relationship now. If you are willing to give it a shot, I can drop my WhatsApp number or you can drop yours.

damble:
What type of exercise can stop anxiety please?

Social anxiety right? No specific exercise. Pushups, weight lifting etc can all help, especially if the face muscles are also worked. Socialize more, a little bit of alcohol can also help. Don't get drunk though, just one or two bottles, try out legal things that makes you shy or anxious when you are a bit high, it will become easier when you aren't high.

somehow:
But every region is represented in the central Govt, so what is stopping the regions being cheated from breaking away starting from the top?

They are benefiting from the current system, so they care less about the rest of the people in their regions.

Nigeria should have at least 6 independent countries, we are underperfoming in this current setting.

I didn't say some regions don't have representatives in the national government, and I didn't also say southern leaders care about their people. I said stupidity is the problem, dividing or devolving power will benefit all regions because it will make them more productive and innovative. A few senators or house of rep members can't make much changes, you need majority or great power to make changes.

somehow:
Malaysia and Singapore were once together but parted ways.

Now, both are doing well with Singapore now one of the richest and most developed countries in the world.

Stupidity is the problem my brother, African leaders don't know how to create wealth, all they know is selling natural resources, and sadly the average African, especially here in Nigeria is as clueless and stupid as the leaders. They think oil is how to generate money, they won't let the south south and south east go.
Japan, Germany and lots of successful and rich countries have no oil and little to no natural resources, yet they are doing far better than most countries who have them. Divide the country or allow the states and regions control their resources and watch innovation, hard work and productivity thrive.
