Not the right kind of disabled? Autism, developmental delay, and the NDIS - Nell Tyler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FMkVWA2Iyk
Some disturbing changes regarding the NDIS have been announced by Mark Butler, the Minister for Health, Disability and Ageing, as well as the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Mark Butler seems to believe that, as a blanket statement, people with mild to moderate developmental delay and autism do not fit the definition of having a permanent and significant disability. This is deeply concerning, as it shows a profound lack of understanding of intellectual and neurological disability, and a sad othering of people within the disability community - a community that already experiences othering from the rest of society.

As you can imagine, as a disability advocate (as well as an autistic adult myself), I have plenty of thoughts about this news. Frankly, I'm not a fan, and I think it betrays some very negative views that Mark and his team hold about people with disabilities.
