What is Autism?
Autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a lifelong developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, processes information, and interacts with the world. Every autistic person is different — some need a little support, others need significant daily help. Autism is recognised by the NDIS, and many participants are funded for a wide range of supports.
Common challenges people may experience
- Difficulty with communication or social interaction
- Sensory sensitivities to sound, light or touch
- Anxiety in unfamiliar environments or with change
- Building and maintaining routines
- Accessing school, work and community activities
- Daily living skills as a child grows into adulthood
How the NDIS may support people with Autism
Where autism causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
