Absolutely.

Indeed. I know other people who are attempting to figure out ways to fund the same. It's heartbreaking that money is what dictates provision of care.

Good news! (Even if the language he's using from the outset is unhelpful.)

I hesitate to say this for obvious reasons but it feels weirdly eugenicist. And American.

But what about men's mental health, V? WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?

And when we get that support we can be insanely economically valuable members of society.
I know a neurodivergent chef who makes the most insane food I have ever tasted. They cannot work at the moment. We miss out on the good stuff, the innovation, if we squash people.

If government and the health care sector do not address neurodivergence adequately, it will be the emergency services who initially bear the brunt of it, it will be wider society that suffers, and we will all be emotionally and financially poorer for it.

I'd like to know how many suicides he's personally had to deal with. The neurodivergent community are more familiar than most with that horrendous end point.
Shifting the blame, callously invalidating the argument, and ignoring the problem (historic female underdiagnosis) has a knock-on effect.

If Streeting speaks from "personal experience" I'd like to know how, for example, that experience relates to neurodiverse, perimenopausal mothers who are now, also disproportionately, because of their gender, absorbing the social obligation of looking after ageing parents whilst still working?

The vibes he gives off are deeply unsettling.
