Swede here, a few years ago, I read that my local municipality would not provide legally mandated special assistance for students with special needs, and the family had to move to get the help they needed.
I am a former special needs student, I got the help I needed and am now a well adjusted adult working and paying tax.
When I learned about the issue with the students, I got embarrassed, it is fucking embarrassing to not be able to provide basic services your citizens need.
Now, we have one of the lowest municipality tax in the country, and I will be voting to increase the tax so we can provide the help these students need.
Same goes with issues like these, remember, it is fucking embarrassing to not be able to provide basic supplies for your citizens.
I am a man, and I'll gladly help my fellow sisters in my community to get basic supplies they need.
If the taxes needs to be raised slightly to do this, then do it, I snd many more are able to pay for it.
Let's just ignore the fact that "special needs" accommodations are just a way to degrade and dehumanize minority students and rob them of educational opportunities.
Also: Autistics aren't idiots and we deserve to be treated as the intelligent people we are. We also need accommodations which aren't provided by labeling us as retarded and withholding human rights which the special ed services in practically all countries do. Other minorities can speak for themselves, since I'm not speaking for them, but I will advocate for myself and call out bullshit when it needs to be called out.
