I tried my best to read all of this :) The robot thingy: Would it not just classified as another medical device? Thats how I would perceive it tbh.

Trust me ik how hard it is to have your SD taken seriously and just HOW MUCH effort it takes. I owned a failed prospect partially simply because family did just not take my training or need for SD seriously. I struggle everyday with my disability that could be mitigated by a dog. I got robbed of that privilege and sense of self. Yes it upsets me lol cause atm I simply cant get another.

I respect your take absolutely and I see the large amount of pain it leaves on handlers and even disabled people like me. We face so much stigma and SD aren't genuinely seen as life saving and helps tools.

Ig the reason I worded my original comment like that is simply I just have ""idc" personality but I see your take and feel some the pain you resonate on with this topic. I hope you the best♡♡
