I am not under any illusion that the Kennedys are good people, but they do have a family legacy of important #disabilitypolicy progress. RFK is determined to dismantle it.

NDIS reform is hitting a wall. Neglecting psychosocial disability is leaving 130,000 Australians without support and driving higher costs across the system, writes Sam Bennett.

The three-body problem explains autism support: autistic person + environment = manageable. Add rigid diagnostic systems and you get chaos, not the neat severity levels policymakers want.

When the System Doesn't Help, Parents Pay the Price | Blog | Vijay Vasudevan
When families of autistic children don't get help navigating the healthcare system, nearly 60% of parents of young children reduce or stop working entirely. That gap is a policy choice.
