Yes, I've considered whether the brain fog and cognitive symptoms in ME fit as a type of neurodivergence.

If NDIS funded equipment is unused (for whatever reason) it's up to the participant what they do with it.

I don't think there are NDIS guidelines.

There are FB groups to sell stuff.

It would be fantastic if secondhand equipment was checked and given to disabled people who cannot access the NDIS.

While we are at it: The NDIS needs to set up a recycling scheme for equipment.

The NDIS really only funds new equipment and takes no responsibility for the equipment after purchase.

Imagine the headlines if I accidentally drove my NDIS funded scooter into someone's BMW and I had no insurance to cover the damages.

I don't understand why 3rd party insurance isn't mandatory. I don't understand why the government isn't concerned about this.

I think that I broke in September/October last year, when the NDIS Bill went through and disability advocates were not only ignored but mocked.

Flu = Oh shit!
GP unavailable = Hate this new shit
GP cost = Ridiculous shit
Med cost = Also super shit

Hope that shit works 🤞

Before RAT tests, I would have thought this was "just a cold" and followed the standard Sick Day Plan to do nothing 👀.

It probably explains why some past "colds" -> low cortisol symptoms.
