It's also completely not true.
They don't have 40 things.
Why would that make any sense?
They have one thing.
the constellation.
I mean, it's everything.
I would say that, you know, we know the literature shows us not only the premature death, but 69% of autistic adults have untreated medical problems.
80% of autistic adults struggle to access primary care amongst people who have a primary care practice.
It's not like, oh, I got to find a practice.
It's not taking a new patients.
They have a practice.
They can't go.
It's not hard.
This is not hard.
And so, you know, I think that one size fits all does not work for all, right?
And so if we can think about universal design for healthcare, that is,
can bridge a lot of barriers to access.
