In the episode Kirsty would prefer you to skip (or only listen to the first 4 minutes!), hear about the pattern of media coverage for autism, and Kirsty's concerns about the future of supports for autistic Australians under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Tune in as Kirsty discusses why it's unhelpful for autism to be consistently linked to the apparent "unsustainability" of the NDIS, and whether the benefit of the NDIS actually outweighs the cost (spoiler alert: it does. Hear about the 'multiplier effect' in this episode, and below).
