severe cognitive disabilities

Yea, from working with homeless clients for the past 17ish years, I think that the layperson doesn’t understand just how many of the homeless have mostly one single problem: very very low IQ

It’s not a medical problem. It’s not a mental illness, per se. But it is a life-ruiner. Someone with a very low IQ will struggle to get or maintain any job that requires remotely complicated instructions or tasks. They won’t understand how to manage money. They will fall for scams and con artists left and right

And they really have no protection. There are group homes for those with legal status of mental disability, but everyone just above that cutoff gets fucked. And asylums won’t be able to help them, or they won’t want to stay in one because they won’t feel they belong with the seriously mentally ill
