Madness and difference were imagined as things to expel from the community.
When a community does not know how to support someone, it may try to send them away.
The Ship of Fools is a powerful historical and cultural image: people considered mad or socially unacceptable being sent away, unwanted by the communities they passed through.
Historians debate how literally and widely this happened, but the image matters because it shows how difference was imagined: not as something to understand, but as something to remove.
This pattern repeats across history. The asylum. The workhouse. The institution. The special school used as a dumping ground. The exclusion room. The off site direction.
Different setting, same pattern: remove the person from sight and call that a solution.
Awareverse should name this honestly. Exclusion is often presented as management. But management is not the same as understanding.
A person has not been helped simply because they have been moved somewhere else.
