As amusing as this comment is.. they do actually make a tasty burger. Their steak tips are great too. And of course.. best steak and cheese around!

You're deeply in the minority. It's really not even close. You're too jaded to see the big picture.

You said it yourself. You had a bad experience because you were not exposed to the best supports, and you had an extenuating situation of your own family basically sabotaging you. Don't get me wrong.. the issue here is way beyond you yourself.. I'm not saying you're somehow damaged goods.. but the advice you give is very jaded and is over-compensating sharply in what is now generally considered the wrong direction. Is every program great? No, of course not. But telling someone to shun all of the orgs out there and just go with homeschooling and social isolation and hope that society as a whole suddenly just changes direction to accommodate those with ASD is incredibly short sighted. It's a two way street. Society DOES need to better accommodate ASD and actually all types of differences in general.. but those with ASD should also be assisted to better acclimate to the society in which we all live.

Your chip on your shoulder stemming from your own personal bad experiences is clouding your judgement and making you a liability to those in the autistic community looking for guidance. Your bias is a serious problem that could be potentially harmful to those in need.

In my humble opinion, and I have a good amount of experience with this, your advice is misguided at best and probably more accurately described as potentially harmful.

Hi there.. I have a close friend who is one of the top autism needs professionals in the state. She's not a redditor so I ran your post by her and here was her answer:
"I recommend Auburn, which is next to Worcester. They have an integrated and specialized special needs program within the school, as well as through their after school and extra curricular activities. I recommend then pursuing a family advocate to assist with this process and also to get in touch with the local department of developmental services, as there are family support programs there. Another good resource is the Autism Alliance" (which is an affiliate of the very large autism support program she runs).
She also says that if you'd like to reach out to her directly, she'd be happy to discuss your options with you. Send me a DM and I can give you her email address.
Good luck!

As others have said.. there is no "fast lane.." there is just a passing lane. When you're in that lane you should be going faster than the vehicles in the lane to the right of you to complete your pass and then move back over to the travel lane, but you also want to try to keep it within 10 mph of the actual speed limit. As my trooper friend says.. 9 you're fine, 10 you're mine. Most importantly, however, don't weave like a jerk. This isn't a video game. Drive safe out there.

Reply to Best neighborhood to live in your early/mid-20’s young professionals? by Aggressive_Blobfish
Somerville. It has everything you're looking for plus if you're on the red line it means an easy commute in to Boston. Brookline may be a more jewish neighborhood, but the commute there is awful because the green line is a bit of a pain compared to the red line. Same goes for Fenway area. If you live in Somerville you can still get to any of those areas by T or bus, but it's that morning commute that should be a key factor. Don't listen to the people telling you to live as close as possible to your work. When it comes to living there.. Southie does not have much for good T access and the rents are insane.

Massachusetts collected over $34 billion in 2021 alone. We can afford a few administrative staff to keep our state funded higher education institutions functioning properly. You want to find ways to balance the budget? Put a flat 1% tax on the gross incomes of the top 1% earning businesses and individuals in this state. Also.. it's time to tax all religious institutions. That will more than make up for any imaginary budget issue you've conjured up in your imagination.

It's a shame OP doesn't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. That list of salaries includes three provosts, and then from there it's all deans, directors, the president and other executives, chief of police, etc. Even if you eliminated the three provosts that would only save a few hundred thousand dollars from the state budget which translates into about 50 cents in tax savings ANNUALLY for OP, but creates administrative chaos for a state funded higher education facility. Perhaps if OP had gone on to higher education he/she would have the mental capacity to understand this.
