    Would 100% recommend The Peanut Butter Falcon, a rare example of film about disability starring a disabled lead actor. A bit sentimental in places but it's all heart and very well acted, and a welcome step forward.

    A powerful contribution. Parents tell me all the time ‘we just know’. We need to respect their instincts and give them all the help and support they need. Early intervention is vital.

    Parents know when something is wrong. Parents always know. But they need help. Urgent need to get disability act assessment done for children with additional needs to access supports.

    I don't see the function of some emotions. In an attempt to repress sadness I try to put a happy face on everything, ultimately triggering a crisis of identity in the little girl whose head I live inside, and the death of an imaginary best friend. AITA?

    Rights guaranteed to all our children by the Disability Act 2005+ revealed as pure aspiration. Ave waiting time 18 m, law stipulates 6 m.

    Over 5,000 children are waiting longer than the law permits to have needs such as autism formally assessed before they can access public health services
