I had this happen! (US) My kid could've lost their vision or ended up with a brain infection. "Our board reviewed the case notes..." yeah so did I and most of them are wrong. Only after I wrote a letter threatening legal action and cc'd the state attorney general did they change their tune 😒

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

As an Au Trans person I can confirm that I am def not okay and trying to find help that is trans and autism friendly, especially autism friendly, is nigh on impossible. The autistic burnout just keeps compounding instead and honestly it's scaring me. Nice knowing some folks are looking out for us.
