“So, you need to work out what supports they need and make a plan for that. But, you know, generalisations don't really work. It really isn't. But to me, statistics are schmistics, you know, because I just think if we looked at 10 people, we're not going to get the same outcome for those 10 people. We can't say you're the same because you're not.”
