Hello steveshe, thank you for sharing your insights. Your grandson is in my thoughts. We've experienced the same here in the Philippines. There are only 70 specialists in a country with almost 110 million people. Getting an appointment for diagnosis is extra challenging plus expensive. If you set up an appointment with the public hospital, it will take at least 1 year to get called up. People's flawed idea of children with ASD are just kids who need "disciplining" or who lack proper decorum, is not helping either. To clarify, I was not wishing for any support for my child from the Aus government, I was just hoping the Immi will review its policies (as what Welcoming Disability campaign is currently pushing for now) and make health waivers not as not complicated as they are now. My apologies for being unclear with my post. Cheers!
