The system doesn't include life skills coaching for all.
That's by design.
It's easier to push people into consumer debt (which the present system runs on) if they don't know what they're doing.

It's possible. My understanding is that you especially needed a certain kind of training, and didn't get it, whereas my response is that your thinking presupposes some kind of fairness in the system or desire for everyone to be functional, and the system only gives lip service.
-
Not that my sympathies don't lie with you, you understand. They do. It's just that it seems to me a healthy response should include updating your mental models of what the system values and how it actually works, and not doing this is extremely maladaptive.

The context is I was *getting* training in elementary school. Not great, but something. When I changed schools, that was all ignored and I had a 'retard' label stamped on me.

The wider context is how autism is misunderstood and misrepresented. So your swerve into consumer debt seems very odd. That's not the kind of life skill I'm talking about.
-
Sure, being treated differently due to autism is subjectively very different from, say, a low credit score. But in the final analysis everything either helps you attain your goals, or doesn't. It seems to me that's the ultimate context of all life skills.
