The disorders and their respective interrelationships are explained to be considered disabilities according to the Brazilian Inclusion Law (LBI, BRAZIL, 2015). The objective of the work was to show the reality of a Law student who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder in a Brazilian public university that excludes and persecutes him for asserting his rights as a person with a disability. The guiding question is whether Brazilian higher education, especially public institutions, is concerned with the mental health of its students, in this case, its students with mental disorders. The conclusion emphasizes that it is essential to enforce laws and public policies related to the inclusion of People with Disabilities (PwD). The Pioneer Case proves that even with clear laws in Brazil, they are not being enforced.}, issn = {2375-1924}, doi = {10.18103/mra.v12i9.5675}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/5675} }
