I don't give a fuck, fuck you.

I'll care about YOUR gd friends and family, you cunts.

Anyway. Go read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.
Get a copy for some kid or teenager or young adults you know (of). JESUS CHRIST MAKE PARENTS AND CARERS READ IT.
Thing's from 2003 and still relevant, ow, my existence hurts.

This gift article from The New York Times does a great job documenting what parents (and kids!) report.

I wish government would go after these practices instead of family members who are paid caregivers for disabled family members.

Reality check. ODSP max is $1,408 a month, roughly 60% below the poverty line. After rent, the math is brutal.
If you can help or RT, it matters.

Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?

Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?
