I disagree. Disabled is different from brain-damaged.
The only way IQ can be altered, is degradation through damage, and that damage is from drugs, alcohol, head trauma or abuse. Many of those street crazies should be in an institution, but those have been emptied out, because muh equity.
Some of these crazies have an IQ of below 85. They cannot even.
Incidentally the army turns away people that stupid. Low IQ individuals will cause accidents just peeling potatoes, let alone marching with arms. They cannot stuff envelopes. They cannot drive. They certainly NOT work on a construction site, or a mine. They are actually helpless.
So, good on you for looking after yourself, despite disability, but I think a more nuanced view is in order. In my opinion, cities are cess-pits. They attract vermin, and some people have degraded themselves to behave like vermin. Giving them housing won't help either, because they bring their problems with them and can destroy any value that that property had.
Rectifying such a problem will take many years of patience.
In my case lazy eye from domestic violence then injury to leg and foot around age thirty. I didn't mean to imply all disabled can work, but living in poor areas as an owner, riding bicycle and bus for the last 15 years, and working at food stamp office as security for a year, I feel qualified to state that many people on the dole could work.
Also many homeless get government checks and should have their money managed for them. Some people who aren't homeless have someone helping them manage.
I'm high IQ, but suffer PTSD from witnessing domestic violence, being trafficked, and have ADD from fetal alcohol syndrome and self-medicating on weed.
Work is good for ya'
Did you get stuck in a relationship with domestic violence? I would like to be able to help someone in that position.
my mother had a long string of abusive men in her life. She was a drunk. Heck when I was 10 a couple tried to buy me. Mom didn't sell, but she hung out with them afterward. They eventually bought a kid. Not sure if anything sexual is involved in that... As a toddler, something happened with her second husband giving me a bath. A Dickens Childhood for sure..
Not sure what help you could be, I'm now 63.
I don't disagree with any of this.
