In Australia the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is paradigm shifting & life-changing for disabled people. But due to many errors of judgement, Government are trying to curb spending, esp. for autism (largest NDIS group). There's a lot of rhetoric & we addressed that 👇 (link in comments)

"I think that we need to start by listening to those in minority communities who are saying that our trainings, the direction our profession as a whole is taking, doesn’t feel safe, or accessible."
"Those of us who are different will feel the bumps and sharp edges that are actually hurting most of us, to some degree, and we should all care about that." From autistic therapist @scrappapertiger.bsky.social, on their professional journey.

Maybe I'll mix it up a bit here & post about some of my SpIns. I've been a competitive (amateur) ten pin bowler since I was ~17yo. My highest game is 267. My current average is 174. This week I bowled a 600 series, meaning I averaged over 200 for all 3 games at league & my highest score this season☺️
