In Australia, gaining affordable supportive services for Autism is dependent on whether or not you qualify for NDIS (that is, if NDIS has already been rolled out into your area). It also depends on your age! Some may encounter challenges locating support services for those aged 18 and above. I won't explore the reasons for…
