Inclusion of autistic people in Brazil (part 1)
[[ I appreciate any tips to make this sound more natural to your native ears! ]]
Since 2012, with the promulgation of Berenice Piana Law, autistic people are legally considered he same rights as other disabled people. In spite of that, autistic people still undergo more exclusion than other groups, possibly due to the peculiarities of this global devepmental disorder, which has a neurological and behavioral character, as will be demonstrated.
From start, it is necessary to mention that autism is a silent condition, because its determinantes, such as communication hitches and sensory change, are not easily recognized by lay observers, like the majority of the population. That leads to a bigger social invisibility than people with physical or motor disabilities, for instance. Therefore, not only the autistic person is frequently not identified as such, but also this creates less mobilization from the civil society for inclusion public policies.

*this is very formal. You could say "since the Bernice Piana Law was passed"
**This would be more natural as "First of all..."
***I would write "recognised" because I am british but this is fine in US english
****You've already used "invisibility" and anyway, I'm not sure it's the right word here. I would try something like "social exclusion" or "social stigma"
