Section 504 of ADA was ignored, banned from Peer support mental health center

Post Body

ADA protects individuals with disabilities against discrimination, Section 504 goes a step further by requiring organizations receiving federal funds to make their programs accessible to these individuals. If you have an official diagnosis of autism, you are able to seek protection and accommodations in all federally funded programs – employment, housing, community living, etc. – under this law.

So, in this situation my autism has been completely dismissed and treated as not a mental disorder by the organization. The peer support center was my only ability to make friends and talk to others since I'm now stuck at my house all day with no where to go. I don't have any friends or family to communicate with and am isolated basically 24/7. I never did anything really wrong or bad, but I did communicate in a way that somehow intimidated the staff. I don't know really what happened. Basically my opinion on topics was wrong and after all I'm now stuck.

I really want to find an attorney to help me go back while they make the appropriate accommodations and treat me better.

Maybe file a lawsuit for civil rights violations under ADA section 504 for ignoring my disability and compounding the problem.

Any tips on what to do next. Thanks
