“
At the end of the hallway facing the door stood a man bent down to the floor, his face expressionless, with a diaper for incontinence and torn
T-shirt. He is blind,deaf, mute and autistic.– He immediately takes his clothes off, tears them in strips and hangs them around his hands. See! – said the caretaker at the men's department of the severe mental retardation institution Stančić, showing rolls of fabric around the young man's wrist– It is the only fabric that he can bare on himself, he added, as the young man retreated to the bed in his tiny room.”
