The fact that we aren't treating the ADHD medication shortages and the miles' long waitlist for ADHD/autism assessments as the healthcare crises that they are makes me so angry.

We need to take healthcare for neurodevelopmental conditions seriously

@structuredsucc I'm the mother of a grown son who has had to pay for his own diagnosis and struggles with getting timely refills, often having to go without while trying to run his business. We knew he was ADHD when he was in grade school, but he wasn't academically 'impaired,' just bored to death and unwilling to get diagnosed or take meds. Now, he has to navigate a bureaucratic hellscape of profiteers and indifferent medical providers, often from a position of economic and mental stress. Everything seems to be rigged against anyone on the margins...
