Autism care for children. I'm looking at $15-30k a year for a service such as speech therapy. Minimum of 6-month wait time.
US? Free. Wait time? Immediate (not hyperbole).
We routinely keep track of this. It has not improved at all.
- FireBeyond 4mo agoAs someone with friends who have children with autism and complex support needs, knowing their challenges, I would say that's a great thing - but definitely varies from region to region. Finding a speech therapist for one's largely non-verbal 14 year old son has been challenging - although I'm going to a party today to celebrate his older sister's graduation from university, now a speech therapist.

In Canada, it didn't matter where you moved. We looked. And then I didn't even get into how horrible Quebec is specifically with regard to taking care of its children.
