Well at least you don't live in Germany. I hope to work there, but I'm scared, that if I have children with autism, they would be denied education.

That's just shameful. I got special ed growing up usually they just give us French language education exemptions to take the extra class. It wasn't much, mostly just giving me extra time for homework, in my case it was extra computer usage and typing ( I was the only student getting this in my school) it helped a lot and is a huge part of my current career. I hope Germany realizes its a mistake to deny this critical education.
