January 2 marks the anniversary of Theo’s death. In 2021, this young autistic man in Switzerland spent more than 30 days mostly in isolation during a psychiatric stay — and although he had been harming himself for over a week, he was not treated until he fell into a coma.
His story is a tragic reminder of how inhumane treatment and lack of understanding can cost lives.
