It's all fine and great for the @esa having a new search for astronauts and the parastronaut program but the recruitment procress is discrimatory as they reject people with mental health disabilities like autism/aspergers etc. Why can't I realise my dream of going into space?

No not at this time, only physical. For the parastronaut feasibility project ESA is looking for individual(s) who are psychologically, cognitively, technically and professionally qualified to be an astronaut.
