Rahmat Wibowo published a self-promoting policy report on neurodivergence in Indonesia using his AEGIS framework, tagging government ministries and tagging Suryadiputra Liawatimena and Oskar Riandi.

{B Indonesia has ~800 psychiatrists for 278 million people. That's 0.3 per 100,000. Meanwhile, we estimate 28-56 million Indonesians are neurodivergent. The detection rate? Approaching zero. ‘We just released a comprehensive policy report: Neurodivergence in indonesia: Deep Research, Solutions & Systemic Roadmap (by Rahmat Wibowo - InfraLoka), and the systemic gaps are impossible to ignore. The Current Reality: Education: Only 0.3% of Indonesia's 3.3 million teachers have any disability training. Healthcare: BPJS does not cover ABA therapy, which currently costs 2-9x the median household income. Employment: 91% of disabled Indonesians work in the informal sector. Employment quotas exist, but enforcement does not. Policy: Komnas Disabilitas (KND) just had its 2025 budget cut by 93%. The Core Argument: Neurodivergence is not a welfare problem. It is a human capital problem. Data from JPMorgan's Autism at Work program shows neurodivergent employees can be 90-140% more productive in certain roles. Indonesia cannot afford the cost of continued exclusion. Crucially, we must stop building diagnosis- gated systems. ‘When making a clinical diagnosis the prerequisite for school support or workplace accommodation, it ceases to be a policy and becomes a waiting list that never clears. The Solution (Our 5-Tier Roadmap): Screen Widely: Implement M-CHAT-R/F screening at all Puskesmas. B support Functionally: Mandate neurodivergence modules in pre-service teacher training (PPG). Incentivize Inclusion: Introduce neurodivergent wage subsidies (modeled after Singapore's EEC). Systematize Strategy: Establish Indonesia's first Presidential Regulation (Perpres) for a national neurodivergence strategy. We need to screen widely, support based on functional need, and reserve clinical diagnosis for intensive interventions. Want to read the full report built on the AEGIS framework?
