Kind of maybe following your line of passion about the FAQ, what do you think it would be important for our listeners to know about supporting neurodivergent cancer patients that we haven't necessarily discussed yet?

Well, I think that the resource that we created that we're speaking about today is for oncology nurses.

It is just part of this...

It's a drop in the bucket towards a solution.

So it should be paired with the self-advocacy guide that Bruce and I worked on, which helps patients make a parallel medical chart, what we call parallel charting, about how that person sort of communicates, how, what their sensory issues are, what their routines, special interests are, what their support team is, all of those things.

So if you're walking into a healthcare system as a supporter of someone with cancer, and you're saying, "You know what? That didn't work.
38:38
And I think, like something that you said earlier, P- Paula, you ta- we were talking about something a little bit different, but you were mentioning the silos of these different systems, and I think the conversation we're having, it's really about kind of like inter- interdependence versus kind of like independence of these things.
