I am aware of this subject personally so will approach it from that perspective. Being born neurologically different with limited visual memory and associated problems that result from that and having limited finer motor skills, I have face this type of abuse in all types of forms my whole life.
It started at an early age for me. The educational system back in the late 1950’s was not equipped to deal with me and taught me in second grade to read using stories that did not interest me enough to easily comprehend. Also could not draw pictures of family members well enough for the teacher to accept them. So ended being held back a grade. A teacher that was insensitive to me made have added to the problem. I did manage to adjust to the educational system, but just got through it in the early grades. In highschool I did do well, but I had to put in an awful lot of focus into it and did have times where I was on the very edge of really messing up, but my developing ability to handle crises got me through. But college was different and demanded more advanced visual memory capabilities and conformity to ideologies and propaganda that were based on collective visions that I could not tune into or relate to. So I did not get anything of value as to the job market from it.
After dropping out of college the first time, I remember going to an employment agency and the slick talking guy getting frustrated by my inability to convince someone to hire me. My interests in the occult and the spiritual was not what they needed. My job I had for a year at the local door factory that I got on my own without help from employment agency was extremely stressful and I had very painful digestive problems most of the time there. My health made a year there about all I could take. I did later serve two years in the Navy, which was the only option I found, but struggled there because of my typing limitations. A lot of fields require quite a bit of visual memory in order to perform them without spacing out and becoming lost as to what to do next. For someone that has normal visual capabilities it is often hard for them to understand this.
After the Navy, which I had no future in due to typing limitations, I had almost 2 years of community college, but found no career path and left despite having the GI bill supporting me. My spiritual skills were not marketable or fully developed at this time and the challenges in my life had made me to deep spiritually to put up with the limitations of traditional religions. How I survived is very complicated, but my family did help support my extremely frugal life style an awful lot.
Anyway, I feel I was abused for being neurologically different with unique abilities by both the educational system and the job market. This was the result of a political/economic system set up that was extremely insensitive to anyone who could not readily conform to it. This “one size fits all” mentality permeated all facets of it. Traditional religions and science were both based on this and the job market was so affected by this very limited perspective.
An awful lot of people are abused in our society and become toxic spiritually as a result and hence the USA has an extremely high prison population and the cycle of abuse is quite strong here. But, the rest of the world has a similar abusive climate expressed in different variations.
I find that businesses often set up a business model that does not allow for abuse to be handled well. When someone is abused, a business should have a built in mechanism to help ensure the abuse will be handled well and that the victim of the abuse is not further hurt by rigid one size fits all rules they have in place. People who are different need to be valued since their uniqueness often gives them a special perspective and value that can improve how thing function on the job and in society.
We all need housing and homelessness is a really serious problem in this world. Often domestic type abuse happens in housing, yet people are forced to sign leases that do not have safeguards in them to allow an abuser to readily escape without financial abuse also being added to the situation. I dealt with this type of situation recently with my life threatened and valuable and personal property destroyed with the police coming and doing nothing and now am dealing with the consequences of breaking a lease even though I informed the apartment management about it. They need to eat this expense and make sure in the future they have a better was of handling this. Leases should be easier to get out of when abuse or other serious reasons exist. Any business model that does not allow exceptions for these serious and special circumstance need to be forced to eat the expense involved. We need systemic changes in this world and it all starts on the spiritual level. That is why a neurologically different spiritual pioneer like me is needed in this world.
I found out recently in a blood test that my red blood cells were too big and that my thyroid gland was not producing enough hormones. Two B vitamin deficiencies(B12, and folate)usually cause that problem which main symptom is anemia. I told the doctor that I took a lot of those vitamins and was on a training program to become healthier. I had just left the abuse situation in Las Vegas and moved to San Antonio with my sister’s help. But with the energy demands of getting help from the VA to find housing my health had been affected. But the doctor told me that I was probably not absorbing the vitamins and further blood test needed to be done and was monologuing and not listening to me explain how different I was from other people. Telling me my nutritional plan didn’t work and that I was not my handling my health well on my own just instantly turned me against this doctor and I refused the further blood tests.
I then proceeded to do mostly slow meditative runs of over 100 miles a week for the next 5 weeks The type of meditative running I do, I designed myself and no one else’s does the way I do them. They are extremely difficult to do. I had adequate energy and did not feel anemic before the blood test and I definitely did not feel anemic while doing all that running, although I am now only doing about 60 miles a week. (Edit: 6 miles a day in a morning and evening run now) I am good at research and did thoroughly research the conditions the doctor told me I had and took my own path to deal with it. A neurologically different body is harder for the medical field to handle.
I hope this gives you food for thought. It is hard to cover so much at once in such a broad subject.
