@7newsaustralia: A major overhaul of support for children with autism and developmental delays begins today. The government says Thriving Kids will eventually move thousands of children away from the NDIS but there's still confusion over what will replace it. #thrivingkids #autism #kids #children #parents

Jasper :

To be polite, I’m finding a lot of the resources for autism are kept under the strictest lock and key 😅. Admittedly, I’m an autistic adult, level 2, and I missed every single school aged intervention, as they didn’t believe it necessary. As an adult, I’ve been taking responsibility, enquiring about supports (employment, medical, a care plan as my mother is burnt out and can’t work due to looking after me, and I’m nearly 30, it isn’t fair on her). I have the correct medical prerequisites for the support I’m applying for, but often rejected due to a clause, or even just ghosted by the organisation after referral. The ghosting has happened quite frequently. I believe, if you are struggling, and have a diagnosis of ASD, the supports should be there to give us an equal chance. It shouldn’t be such a fight? Never for any other medical condition I’ve experienced, has the proof itself not been enough to justify assistance with it 💗

Please don’t be mean to the phone staff when calling ndis

My daughter is 3.5, no verbal and by assessment is “behind across the board”, level 3 asd and getting her on to ndis was like pulling teeth. She finally has funding enough for speech once a week,ot and Physio therapy once a Fortnight. It’s not enough but it’s more than some families. The irony is helping her now would save money down the track. Right now she would never be able to hold down a job or even finish basic education. Meanwhile we as a family struggle to help day to day

"should be online" and "will eventually support..."

Ok, but 50% of supports are being cut from today and also next year.

sparkle_tatas91 :

Trying to find any therapies is enough of a struggle on its own/ and the public system you waited on ages before getting ndis fail you too

@7NEWSAustralia expect NDIS are already putting kids lives at risk. My daughter is nine and has been with the NDIS for years. She is tube fed, level 2 ASD and ehlers Danlos requiring a wheelchair. They keep declining our paperwork. They say we need to provide x,y, z and it will be approved. We get exactly what they ask for. Then they say no to approving again and keep adding need x,y,z. She has numerous permanent life long disabilities with no cure and we are fighting constantly to get her support. NDIS approved a wheelchair for her Ehlers Danlos 6 yrs ago and now that she has finally grown and needs a bigger one they won’t give one. She is tube fed and they haven’t given us enough funds in our current plan for her formula which you can’t just buy from a shelf or her pump lines, her extension tubes that connect to her gastronomy. Families are exhausted fighting. There are ones out there who are getting 100’s of thousands in their plan that don’t need that much. The NDIS seems to give everything to families that rort the system and it’s the families that don’t that suffer. There are NDIS delegates making these decisions that have never worked in a medical field, let alone have any qualifications. Delegates that have worked for Woolworths all their lives and now are making these big decisions on peoples lives. This is not ok!!

As a person without a disability I’d prefer my tax dollars supporting people with disability to live a good life, instead of AUKUS war mongering with the USA/israeli war criminals using us as a launch pad with our largest trade partner and neighbour China
