All you need to assess @CraigWtweets, @_Nic_Lee and I is a lazy copy of the WHODAS. Administered by an allied health person who isn't actually employed by anyone in the disability sector. Why is it that we are reporting our sex lives to government, again? https://twitter.com/CraigWtweets/status/1301127022689710080
2/ For me, it's also Vineland, I guess, given that I am mad and have ADHD and am autistic. Eating dirt is probably a yes as well.

In the trials, which was only for autistics, ppl with ID and ppl with psychosocial disability, less than 5% were psychologists.
3/ Your use of standardised assessment tools - I hope you people watching us out the window are faster than actual clinicians, cos they say they can't assess our needs in 20 mins. Probably take that long for us to crawl up the ramp - at the very least.

And that's at a charge.
4/ At the very least, I can tick off the one at the end of the CHIEF assessment, I guess.

You know, none of this is going to work for the LEAST complex of us, let alone those without family or caregivers, people with psychosocial disability or autism.

This is a Very Bad Idea.
5/ Looking forward to getting more scrape marks on my knees and belly. Our people will turn out in force to do this and say no to independent assessments by the NDIA. You need to release the evaluation report for both the trials and you need to halt this thing right. now.
6/ We have already proven that we have permanent and significant disabilities in order to get into the scheme in the first place. Doing this in order to boot us off, reduce our funding, and refuse further participants is cruel and unusual behaviour, carried out in a pandemic.
