There are waiting lists for "skilled" practitioners in the care of autistic children. From underpaying to underfunding, this is a problem that can be easily solved. As a father with an autistic child on ridiculously long waiting lists for specialists
#autism 1/x

Specialists such as a TSS or specialty developmental pediatrician are tougher and tougher to get and I get more and more disgusted knowing his life and health are directly being hurt by #MMT deniers.

Autism funding is being blocked by a false belief of debt and deficits.

Families with autism know how much work and endless therapy and late, sleepless nights that come with it. Sleep deprivation and anxiety... illnesses bourne in exhaustion ... all stemming from austerity bred in neoliberal, crap economics.

So if you wonder why my ass is chapped and my patience thin, just know these trolls are DIRECTLY harming special needs children.

That goes doubly for those who have impeded my personal efforts as this isn't academic... its intensely personal.

#MMT is a life changer

Put it in those terms and process how my mind views the following:

"MMT sounds good in theory but..."

"MMT is a cult..."

"Oh no, not more MMT"

"But what about inflation and the value of my dollar

"MMT is a Government PsyOp"

"Its just a Theory"

Now.... revisit my son. #Autism. A lack of trained practitioners. A lack of funding. A lack of a Federal Job Guarantee.

And then ask yourselves why I am intolerant of trolls. #MMT is a game changer.
