I'm shocked too. I haven't been discriminated against due to my race or working status, but once I was denied the privilege to attend an anxiety group because the leader found out I have high functioning autism. She just assumed, without even meeting me, that I would have bad social skills. But I really don't and would have liked the chance to meet her and show her that. I realize now I could really call them out on discrimination but I don't feel like going to a group where I am not wanted. It makes me question the group's other practices.
