Autistic children who fit in the ‘profound’ category are deserving of more support, yet it is concerning that the sole purpose of the study and proposed ‘profound’ category is to help government and service providers plan and deliver supports to children who fit in the non-verbal category, while those with significant needs who don’t fit would be excluded.
So the criteria for diagnosis would be dependent on where children sit within a support system decided by governments. What happens if governments don’t listen to autism experts who have been commissioned?
Governments not listening to expert advice????? Hehehe, Whatever makes you think that might happen ArchaeC - oh apart from all the evidence that is.
To answer that question:
People who care can organise and lobby for government to do so within whatever restrictions are created or maintained by the government at that time . At present my suggesting anything to the contrary would be unlawful...
We can support organisations or indeed individuals that support such people or even do so directly ourselves. Or promise that when we are able to do so we will do.
From that government angle, beyond that, we can vote for those who do and not for those who don't.
