Has anyone beaten the odds?

This is why I wish they would make 100-400sq ft private bedroom shared communal facility condo / apartments in a high rise with like shared social space, library, kitchen etc, to force autists into dialogue/social interaction. Other sectors of the economy could use this too such as our seniors and homeless population. Most homeless I have met are great people who are terribly suffering and half are probably on the spectrum. Instead of treating their mental conditions as a result of their stress, maybe we should look at that ‘hierarchy of needs’ chart and address lower down the tree trunk first since in the end it will probably save more money to prevent all the other conditions then trying to sort out once they’ve fallen through the cracks of society so to speak. Isolation is very damaging to the body. We could build these skyscrapers as sensory friendly and private money can buy the small units for 70k but that’s ok cuz they only cost 30k to build! Rent would be like $300/mo everyone’s happy. Different floors for different sensory issues, or levels of severity / special interest. Forcing interaction may create collaboration which in turn drives entrepreneurship which in turn drives the economy.
