You mean you are not motivated to make rich people even richer? Shame.
I have high-functioning autism and a child on the spectrum. Parenting is difficult enough without adding in extra complications. However, the fact that you have an understanding of your shortcomings and are working to remedy them puts you ahead of many parents already.
It sounds like you are both going to need to work on interactions. That's OK, you may just need some extra help and patience. Parenting is a learning process for both the parent and the child.
Here's something that has worked for me and my son. We would take walks outside in different natural surroundings and point out things we find. If I found a mushroom I would point it out and talk about it. If he found an insect he would get excited and show it to me. A very low pressure environment that gets people talking and learning.
I would also be honest with his therapists about your autism. You may benefit from joint sessions with him and sessions alone with your own therapist. It is important to find the right therapists who are willing to help both of you without judgment. If one is not working out, don't be afraid to move to another.
It's a modified form of slavery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery
'The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job.[31] However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other".'
I am in the middle of fracking country. I can't go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.
Police in my town spend a significant amount of time at the scenes of car accidents. I wonder what percentage of their time?
Their priority should be on crime and accident response and prevention and I feel like it is in my small town. I don't know how this compares to police in larger cities, which makes studies like these valuable.
Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.
Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.
Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.
It could also be partly explained by mothers being forced into carrying defective fetuses to term.
Like this mother: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/04/06/1168399423/a-good-friday-funeral-in-texas-baby-halos-parents-had-few-choices-in-post-roe-te
In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.
Back in the '90s everything messed up was "gay." The teacher won't let you turn in late homework, that's gay. Recess was cut short by a fire alarm, so gay.
I thought we'd moved past that immaturity.
Oh, but it does do something. It makes rich health insurance execs even richer! (Working as intended.)
I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.
I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of "medical necessity."
