[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 534187, member: 11791"] MWM... Generally, in Canada, if the disabled adult has a severe physical disability... we tend to treat them fairly. If the disabled adult has a pervasive developmental disorder - Downs, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) - depending on which province, these are also treated quite fairly. But... severe mental illnesses are a catch-22. We are closing down mental hospitals - due to the "belief" that these people are better off in the community, with "supports". For some, it seems to work; for others... it doesn't work, and there is nothing else. JMO, but... mental illness is still such a backwoods area in medicine. We don't really have answers, just a lot of people for whom we can list off all the things that do NOT work... When people are unwilling or unable to conform to the basic rules of the systems designed to support them... what IS the right answer? I just don't know. [/QUOTE]
