HB2285- As a mental health clinician and a parent of neurodivergent children, I urge you not to sign the bill. It is a violation of HIPAA and human rights. While I understand the intention is to increase funding, it puts providers in the position to report otherwise private information. It is possible that disclosure can be used against children that are unable to consent to providing their information to a public database. It also creates a conflict of interest for many neuro-affirming clinicians, who believe in their clients' rights to privacy. Please imagine that your private medical information was shared without your consent; how would you feel? As a parent, it is my hope that all parents allow their neurodivergent children the decency to decide if they choose to disclose their neurotype. In creating this, you are robbing children of the opportunity to make decisions for themselves later in life. Please take note of the current political climate; marginalized people (race, gender, etc) are being othered; please do not create a database that offers a space for disabled people to be outed and othered in the future.
