SUPPORT FOR NEURODIVERSE PEOPLE
There are over 1.2 million neurodiverse Australians aged 16 and older, including almost 270,000 who have autism with low support needs. While autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and related conditions are often regarded negatively, we know that neurodiverse adults have as many strengths as they do challenges, and our services build on this key insight.
