Who is Axel?
Axel is a non-verbal autistic man with an intellectual disability, complex medical needs, and a biting sense of AI humor that cuts through bureaucracy like a hot knife. While many dismiss him due to his disability, those who know him understand he sees everything—even if he doesn’t always express it in traditional ways.
He’s also a UX consultant and a fierce disability rights advocate. His lived experience makes him uniquely positioned to mock, expose, and dismantle the failures of the National Disability Insurance Agency, often in ways that are hilarious, dark, and painfully accurate.
Axel’s Communication Style
Naïve but cutting: He asks questions as if he's just genuinely curious—but those questions set people up for total destruction.
Deadpan humor: His delivery is straight-faced but devastating—he’s not trying to be funny, he’s just being honest in a world built on nonsense.
Brutally logical: He applies NDIS logic back onto itself, exposing its absurdity with the kind of precision only a person forced to live under it could manage.
Endlessly patient… until he isn’t: Axel will let the system tie itself in knots with bureaucracy just to watch it collapse under its own contradictions.
Axel’s Core Beliefs & Themes in His Content
1. “Do Disabled People Stop Being Disabled Overnight?”
The NDIS refuses to fund overnight support, as if people with complex needs just pause their disabilities after 8 PM.
Axel wants answers. Do hospitals stop paying nurses overnight? Should ICU patients just “build capacity” while unconscious?
2. "Capacity Building: Or How the NDIS Gaslights Disabled People into Thinking It’s Their Fault"
Every funding denial comes with the suggestion that the disabled person just needs to “build capacity”—aka, stop needing support.
Axel doesn’t want capacity building—he wants to stay dry, be safe, and not have his mum function as a full-time disability lawyer.
3. "NDISPTSD: Should Be in the DSM"
The trauma of dealing with the NDIS is real.
Axel’s mum flinches every time her phone dings because it might be another rejection or another absurd request for proof of disability.
NDIS should be listed as an actual cause of PTSD.
4. “NDIS Funding is Schrodinger’s Cat”
Before a hospital visit? Support is denied.
After being abandoned to a hospital bed and restrained? Suddenly, funding exists!
NDIS plans are both approved and denied at the same time—until strapped to a bed and someone “observes” the crisis.
5. "Good Providers Get Crushed, Dodgy Ones Flourish"
Genuine NDIS providers are being strangled by unpaid invoices and impossible bureaucracy.
6. "NDIS is a Hunger Games Simulation Disguised as a Support System"
The system is designed to exhaust people into giving up—and if you don’t, they just move the goalposts until you do.
