As an Autistic person, I would like:
Public transportation where groups of men can't assault me without impunity, whether it's cops shaking me down for a ticket or white dudes with flowers.

I would like a grocery store within 2 miles of every residential house. With side walks or adequate space in the street for mobility devices, and things to keep people from speeding and killing pedestrians if necessary.
All curbs should be flattened for mobility devices.

Foodstamps should literally work for all kinds of food.
End tipping. Permanently.

And again:
End tipping. Permanently. No one should be getting paid more based on initial impressions and bias.
Force people to pay living wages or go out of business.

I can't control people's biases against me at work. Straight up, I can't. I will say something that will reveal how Autistic I am: very quickly.
I cannot legislate the current state of people away. I have to look towards tomorrow. And beyond myself.

This one I get a lot of heat for:
fund recreation centers to have services.
I literally have people scream at me how we have these but we need more.
