Special Needs people in your nation

Postby Catholic Terra » Sun Mar 23, 2014 7:35 am

How are Special Needs people treated in your nation? Like autistics, people with Down syndrome, etc.

In Catholic Terra, 10 out of 50 babies born develop a special needs disorder like Autism, we have established Special Needs schools across the nation, and most schools offer Special Needs classes.
Catholic Terra in a nutshell:Italians, Greeks, and Lebanese people living on an island near Sicily.

I am a male who is a Massachusetts native, I support LGBT rights, freedom of speech, less strict gun ownership, Religious freedom, fairness, better healthcare, banning GMOs, finding a cure for Diabetes, Italian culture, people not shoving their opinions down my throat, and making it harder for illegal immigrants to come here.

I consider myself to be a mixture of both Democratic and Republican.

Depends on where you live. The Port City of Quistirak is considered the center of medicine and science and has been a key part in developing new solutions. They usually attempt to give them some sort of compensator. Currently research into things like neurological implants connected to artificial eyes for the blind, more advanced and natural looking prosthetics for those lacking a limb, artificial voicebox inplants linked to the brain for the mute, and other such things. Genetic/neurodevelopmental issues, such as autism, Down's syndrome and Huntington's disease, are usually dealt with via gene therapy in the womb. Best results happen when the treatment begins as soon as one becomes pregnant. Finally, hormonal issues are dealt with via hormone therapy.
Meanwhile, most areas around Quistirak have negotiated some sort of deal with them that allows usage of Quistirak medical facilities.

In most other coastal areas, less advanced forms of the above therapies are used. The success rates are a fraction of the Quistirak equivalents, but still higher than many foreign nations.

And the Tribals usually kill them for being weak.

There are also some eugenicists around, but they support positive eugenics mostly and so focus their attention on getting smart people to have sex with each other.

Nobody has special needs in Tsvarchi. Everybody needs something. Just because some require specific types of needs doesn't make their needs special in any fashion.

All needs are accommodated in Tsvarchi. It's the law.

Unlike the uncivilised savages with whom we are forced to share the planet, we don't execute special needs people. Though we are working on a genetic "antidote" to the defects. Until then, they are simply treated as normal people with a disorder.

You WILL receive the education you need tailored to your specific personality and style of learning. You WILL receive the healthcare (including psychological) you need to be a functioning human being. You WILL receive the income you need to live comfortably with all your needs fulfilled. Period.

This is all regardless of any learning disorders or mental disorders you may have. We have this thing called "compassion" for all members of society. It appears that many nations out there have not heard of this concept.

Reasonable accommodations are to be made for them but they are expect to act reasonable as well . And not use there disability as a excuse for not working when they can or for bad behavior.

There ain't any, and if there were, we would call them the generic "retards" or by their medical diagnoses rather than some politically-correct nonsense term.

The reason there aren't any "special needs people" is eugenics - Sidh ancestors were a select group of the best that Mankind had to offer, physically and mentally, and Sidhae have kept it that way ever since, immediately eliminating any sub-par individuals from the genepool. Humans tend to associate "elimination" with execution or forced sterilization, but actually we never had to resort to such drastic measures - carefully screening and selecting genetic material for future generations, and enforcing strict quality control over the embryos grown in a laboratoric setting in a controlled fashion is quite sufficient at ensuring that no defective subjects ever reach even self-awareness, let alone maturity.

Of course, in a human population with a contaminated genepool that is already infested with mental and physical deficients, sterilization of deficient members would have to be undertaken if their irresponsible reproduction cannot be otherwise curtailed. However, recognizing the importance of eugenics is something the humans must do for themselves, for a concept forced on them will never be truly embraced or understood.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

Comparatively-minor psychological disorders, such as autism-spectrum disorders (which are common among YellowApplans; the symptoms thereof are particularly prevalent among sapient equines, who are biologically "wired" to fixate upon "special talents" upon adolescence and into adulthood, on occasion at the expense of the ability to correctly socialize with others), are generally accepted as "personality quirks" and - if particularly debilitating - are typically addressed with voluntary psychological therapy (group therapy being especially popular).

Thanks to YellowApplan advances in neuroscience and genetic therapy, most of the more severe psychological disorders are either non-existent or are easily correctable with electrical point-impulse therapy (a modern and more precise evolution of the ancient practice of "electroshock therapy"); the remainder are typically addressed using neurosurgery and/or cranial implants.

We try and help people with special needs. There is research toward gene therapy, complementary medicine techniques in exercise, diet meditation, and herbalism and in some cases environmental medicine. There is a link between creative genius and autism and mental illness. Because the Department of Mental Hygiene has studied this closely they are more able to identify people with exceptional abilities, savants and others. We seek to understand the full spectrum of humanity. Compassion is adaptive. A society without an understanding of disability is an incomplete society.

Many people with qualities of genius demonstrate disabled qualities, there is a fine line between genius and madness. Eliminating all disability in eugenic terms will leave civilizations without unique or creative thinkers.

We try to integrate them into normal schools, we find that over time their differences will lessen that way. If they can't cope then unfortunately they have to go to a special school.
