In Australia the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is paradigm shifting & life-changing for disabled people. But due to many errors of judgement, Government are trying to curb spending, esp. for autism (largest NDIS group). There's a lot of rhetoric & we addressed that 👇 (link in comments)

Maybe I'll mix it up a bit here & post about some of my SpIns. I've been a competitive (amateur) ten pin bowler since I was ~17yo. My highest game is 267. My current average is 174. This week I bowled a 600 series, meaning I averaged over 200 for all 3 games at league & my highest score this season☺️
18.11.2023 09:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Absolutely bizzare! I had a look & these massive chunks of response to reviewers took up an enormous amount of the paper! & in the wrong sections! (discussion in intro). How this could happen in general, let alone a Nature publication, is unfathomable. If I was an author I'd be on this quick smart
