Actually, if they want to reduce isolation in autistic adults, they should increase welfare rates so we actually have enough money to get through the month and maybe have a bit leftover to go out and do things socially. If I had money I could take a choir class or acting class or something and that...

My father almost certainly had it, but he was born in 1917 and died in 1971 so there was no chance of a diagnosis. He had one friend that I remember, could not communicate properly, at times even with my mother.
