Before cancelling the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders completely (creative destruction) seek common ground of who pays for LTSS in HCBS even with deplorables

   The authors of the controversial JADD study might be able to afford to contribute to ABLE accounts to shelter assets for their severely disabled autistic children.   The parents in the antivaxxer and curebie communities the authors identify with might not be able to contribute to ABLE accounts to shelter assets.  The pace of change demanded by the folks who the curebies and antivaxxers consider a loud vocal minority of activists is too slow to ‘trickle down’ and equitably benefit the children of the curebies.   They’re allies, allying in a problematic way, of ASAN demand during action August 2021 to raise the SSI asset limits in the next covid relief bill.  Or the bigger $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that the slim Democratic Senate majority (tie breaking Senate vote by VP Kamala Harris) is trying to pass by reconciliation by Oct 2021 to avoid another partial shutdown with another continuing budget resolution.  Costs of raising a child born with zika virus side effects are comparable and/or proportionately reduced by family class privilege and how much an autistic adult can work with or without LTSS, provided in HCBS, in the form of employment supports that might not even need transferring out of an FLSA exempt subminimum wage workplace.
