More that our capitalist masters want us to be useful to them or not a burden, even if that means dying of starvation or exposure to the elements.
It’s not personal, since they dont care why you aren’t useful. If you were paraplegic or blind they’d want to toss you into a composting machine just as bad.
More like 5-6. My son is autistic and finding services for a 12 year old is difficult. He is level 2 and it is near impossible for us to find services for him. Either places will only work with level 1 or you have places that treat everyone as level 3.
There was a scandal in LT that people with autism, especially ones with Asperger’s, have had their diagnosis ‘magically disappeared’ in the med records after 18. And a study showed that, while there were registered thousands of autistic children under the age of 18 in Lithuania, only 17 or so autistic adults were registered in the whole country.
I reviewed the newsletters, the psychiatrists cite the ‘Soviet legacy’. Grunya Sukhareva did some research on autism, but there was probably not enough made research into adults. Besides, mental health in the USSR had a very shady history.
Sometimes I wonder if all the world’s medical books have a typo that says autistics turn normal or die at the age of 18.

That’s… something. Did anyone figure out why?
