    For our son, it’s the daycare pushing us repeatedly to get the autism diagnosis.

    We have seen an occupational therapist who cost $280 for a 1 hour zoom call without my son present and advised it would be around $350 each time she did a visit. Medicare covers $48 that, or our top tier extras cover covers $50.

    Or NDIS provides 6 totally free sessions per year. So of course I have started the process of trying to get him on NDIS. I’d be silly not to.

      Yep, turns out not everyone with a disability is missing an arm. This is what the NDIS is for. Certain types of politicians can’t stand that we are spending a large amount of money on helping people but don’t blink at spending even larger sums on phallic underwater machines of death.
