90% of adults with autism are either unemployed or under employed. And the adults with autism in the study group averaged $8.10 an hour, significantly below the wages of adults who don't have autism.
That's why I was one of few in a room full of autistic adults who weren't on disability.
63% of autistic adults also experience bullying in their childhoods. I can attest to this.
I got bullied so bad, I really don't leave the house much anymore unless I'm accompanied by someone I can trust.
Actually my bullies were so bad, I don't know how I got out of my 20's without serving 25 to life.
