People that have always worked know that! That is not news. News would be to send to work all those people receiving welfare. Most people know that people on the welfare system receive more benefits for everything than the working stiff! Give them the minimum just to help them, not to continue to their way of living, and benefits should mainly be for the elderly poor, and veterans. The rest, send them to work!

That's all fine and dandy unless you are "different" than neurotypicals. About eighty percent of autistics are unemployed not by choice but because people don't want to hire them. Why? Because they may not look you in the eyes during a job interview. Yet, in some states, we die because we can't get jobs, and the state government didn't buy into Medicaid expansion.
