it's not just with autism. it's any disability. New Zealand is an example of one such country, though there are others. it's ableism.

they claim they only ban people who need "great support" and would "drain resources" -- idk what they mean by that -- but there are instances of stereotypical "successful" autistic people also being banned from immigrating. it's about capitalism, basically. look, I'm sure they would let Elon musk live there, but a computer programmer or artist who is not famous? they don't want them.

New Zealand also has BMI limits on who can immigrate. No fatties allowed.
