Unable to immigrate to Spain for an individual on the autism spectrum.
=====================================================================
In the heart of the southern Spanish province of Granada, a 22-year-old woman named Anna "Dea" Amstein finds herself in a difficult situation. Anna, who moved from Switzerland a year ago with her partner, is currently living on an IV pension due to her autism spectrum disorder.
However, upon moving to Spain, her benefits were discontinued, leaving her without the necessary support to live independently. Anna expresses that in Granada, she is often left alone and no one asks her why she isn't working.
The discontinuation of Anna's benefits is due to Spanish law, a fact she is now communicating to the Beobachter. Anna states that if she wants to live independently, she must stay in Switzerland forever.
Anna's story is not about book recommendations or garden tips, but rather a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities when navigating different legal systems and cultures. Her situation highlights the importance of understanding and accommodating the needs of those with unique circumstances.
Despite the difficulties, Anna remains hopeful and is determined to find a way to live independently in Granada. Her story serves as a call to action for policymakers, advocates, and communities to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to live a fulfilling and independent life.
