A data system that tells us how many children actually need support.
This isn’t a critique of where the money is going today that investment in HIV/TB/malaria has saved lives and deserves the credit it gets. It’s a hope that autism is added to that list, not pitted against it.

They are overwhelmed. 🌈 Sensory differences are a core feature of autism.
Understanding them changes everything.
