I’m not a participant but have a psychosocial disability. I support my 20 year old son who is a participant and I find NDIS causes me a lot of distress and I feel my own disability prevents me from ensuring my son is well supported

The NDIS (National Disability Scheme) is a federal government initiative to fund the disability needs of Australians. The NDIS aims to assist those with a permanent and significant disability as defined:
- A 'permanent disability' means a person's disability is likely to be lifelong.
- A 'significant disability' means a disability with a large impact on a person's ability to complete everyday activities.
This includes mental health (psychosocial disability) issues which are noted as ongoing and effecting a persons life in some way.

Hi everyone
Hi @Wazzlord, I'm intrigued, were you an NDIS participant at the same time as being in one of those roles? Support worker, LAC...?

Re: Topic Tuesday// NDIS, Disability & Mental Health// Tues 31st January 2023 5:30-7:00PM
Hi All,
First time joining in on the SANE forums and thought this was a perfect start to immerse myself.
I was recently diagnosed (2022) ADHD & ASD at the tender age of 32 and would love to know more about what NDIS could potentially offer in the way of supports.
Feedback I have received from others is that with a "Level 1" ASD diagnosis, they have struggled with applying to and/or have had their applications rejected by the NDIS despite experiencing struggles throughout all aspects of the lives.
