Neurodiversity

As both a member of the medical community who has spent long hours advocating for funds to be released for a patients care,

and as a foster parent who has struggled withing the constraints of a broken system to get care for a child underdiagnosed,

I am all for changes that give money to more people. Access to care is vital. I could care less what column the damn x needs to fall on what application to make it happen. What matters is that there is money to get the care needed.

Fighting for money to cover care is exhausting both for families/clients and for the healthcare team. It is exhaustive, repetitive, and often feels futile riddled with few results and occasional miracles when something gets pushed through.
