Introduction to Autism
A 2015 survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics found that about 1 in 150 Australians have Autism. Although people with Autism face many challenges, they can still live the life they choose when they receive the right help. We have abundant experience in helping both children and adults with Autism achieve their goals. Our Autism Care Specialist is ready to meet your needs for outstanding Autism Support.
How Do You Care for Someone with Autism?
Most people with Autism receive care from family members or others close to them. While an Autism Specialist is engaged in training and ongoing education, many family members need assistance in learning how to care for someone with Autism.
These tips can help you offer the best family Autism Care:
- Concentrate on empowering them rather than doing things for them.
- Educate yourself and practice empathy to understand their needs
- Be prepared to adapt your care as their needs change
- Tailor your care to their unique set of conditions if they have more than one disability
- Help them with self-care when needed, but give them space to do it on their own whenever possible
- Keep records of their reactions to the products they use
- Ask them to speak slowly and use fewer words if they are having trouble communicating
- Protect them from all forms of abuse
- Take care of yourself, too, so you will have the strength and stability to continue helping them
- Work with an Autism Support Coordinator to ensure they get all the services they need

Personal Care
Maple Support Workers assist people with Autism by helping them live as independently as possible. Whether you or your loved one is in a group home or living in a private residence, we come when needed to help with morning routines, personal hygiene, daily tasks like eating, drinking, and bathing, and assisting during appointments.
Household Tasks
At Maple, we understand the value of healthy eating and keeping a clean home. As a part of our NDIS services, we provide help with household tasks like cleaning, meal preparation, banking, shopping, and so much more.

Community Participation
Maple Community Services can assist you or your loved one in accessing and participating in the community. We guide, support, mentor, and motivate you to succeed and reach set goals for social interaction and recreation.
Development - life skills
Developing Life Skills is all about building your or your loved one’s confidence and enabling independent living. We do this by developing a plan which gives you the training needed to achieve life goals. Supports we provide in this area include educating on personal hygiene, maintaining a clean environment at home, and organisational skills to name a few.

Is Autism Covered by the NDIS?
Yes! Because Autism is a permanent disability, it is covered by the NDIS in most cases, depending on the severity of your or your loved one’s condition. As of 2019, the average NDIS participant with Autism received $32,800 annually.
For children under the age of seven, the amount was $16,700.
At Maple, we can assist you in the process of assessment to see if you or your loved one qualifies for NDIS Autism benefits. If you or your loved one meets the criteria, we have the capacity to provide the services needed.
What Can NDIS Fund for Autism?
The NDIS funds several critical services for people with Autism. These include speech and occupational therapy, physiotherapy, personal care support, community access support, nutritional support, skill development, and behavioural support.
NDIS funding can also provide sensory toys, holiday camps, or pay for a Support Worker to assist you or your loved one at home. The types and amounts of funding available are determined partly by the level of severity.
For children younger than seven years of age, NDIS funding provides early interventions, takes a family-centred approach, and helps families connect with Autism Services Providers.
At Maple, we can assist you or your loved one with the NDIS Application to receive your or your loved one’s rightful funding.

If you or your child has level 1 Autism, the NDIS rules will require further assessments to determine eligibility for NDIS funding. Speak to one of our Autism Support Workers for more details on how we can help.
