The help is there. AOT uses the services that are all there. What AOT does, it's like the law is set up.

If you were in a terrible car accident, okay, and there's a couple cars and there's people being hauled out of a terrible situation, the ambulances pull up and they say with a loudspeaker, ambulance over here, folks, come on. That's what it's like. Some people could do that, but a number of them are, I don't know, unconscious, legs broken.

AOT is the stretcher where you go to where they are and you put them on the stretcher, even if they're not able to say, yes, please. You put them on the stretcher because you can see they're unconscious and you take them in the ambulance. That's what they're not doing.

Again, back in the 60s, before there was as much known about brain illness, there was an idea that people were just manifesting the problems their mother gave them. And it seemed really unfair.

AOT creates a due process in the civil court that can accept evidence like he's talking to angels and so you can actually get help. Because the way it's set up now, I think it made sense to them in the 60s, but we know a lot more now and it no longer makes sense.
