History
Dropouts' Rebellion
In a nation long lost to history, there was a demographic crisis. The nation had a high birth rate, and compulsory school attendance (without exceptions for homeschooling) until 21 or until a person graduated high school. Despite this, 56% of high school students dropped out due to high standards for graduation, and due to a combination of laws and the influences of guilds, high school dropouts had virtually-nonexistent employment opportunities. Even those who had a high school diploma were regulated to low-paying menial jobs without any opportunities for advancement. Only the 7% of the population with a bachelor's degree or higher had an opportunity to advance, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed.
Rebellion was inevitable. The first group to rebel was the Autistic Depathologization and Liberation Party. Previously a fringe party, they advocated against the medical model of autism, arguing that being autistic was not a disorder or disease but rather an alternative way of being to be accepted and accommodated. While the high school dropout rate among the general population was 56%, it was 94.7% for autistic people. Only 0.3% of autistic people had a bachelor's degree, and only 5 (too small to calculate a percentage) autistic people had a master's degree. They demanded automatic graduation for all people who completed 12th grade; allowing virtual schooling; lowering the school-leaving age to 16, and the ban on all ABA/autistic conversion therapy in K-12 schools.
