Fourth time being denied proper help via Community Mental Health today. It wasn’t helped by the phone screening being one where neither person could understand the other. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fobbed off back to my GP again. Ugh. Do they even understand autistic burnout?

NZ! WE HAVE TO WAKE UP! Every Govt we have had for a long time has been pushing us slowly to privatisation. IF we don't fight to get our Public Health System funded properly - this is what we are in for. Current NACT's is going faster than others. #NZpol #TeWhatuOra

Thank you Dr Thabrew.

The doctors are telling the truth.

The Minister is not.

Cartoon. Headline: Luxoceros & the Oxpeckers. PM Luxon as a rhino, saying, ‘Whoop-de-doo! It’s a big problem, it’s a big mess! You can debate whether it’s 12, 13, 14, 15, I don’t really care. I’ve told you 14… and if you want to debate, that’s great, but you’re missing the point!’ (That’s just a quote) and two little Oxpeckers on his back, one saying, ‘he’s delightfully thin-skinned’
