I think one reasons that options for neurologically disabled people are very limited in most locals is because society tends to view those with neurological disabilities as by and large unable to even learn to do the basic activities of daily living (things like cooking, dressing, etc), this mindset traps society into the attitude that everyone with a neurological disability has to be taken care of by others for the rest of their lives. The second reason for options being severely restricted for people with neurological disabilities is the fact that it’s easier, cheaper and more convenient to have one-size-fits-all solutions, especially as the organizations tasked with providing services like housing and employment to the neurologically disabled tend to be government agencies, or at least receive the vast majority of their funding from the government.

Unfortunately, society tends to push those with neurological disabilities into an extremely limited variety of life paths. For housing, it's often stay living in your parents place into your 40s or live in a hyper restrictive group home, employment for people with neurological disabilities is dead end retail work at best, etc. We place kilotons of unnecessary barriers that make it almost impossible for someone who has a neurological disability to live independently, have meaningful careers, and basically anything else "neurotypical' adults can and often do do.
