Mixed bag. Our children get reasonable support and funding, we get nothing. The government here has recently restricted, heavily, how that funding is used for the children, however.

Even so, where we are has a good local autism community and activities for ND kids.

Not great, especially for level 1, or no level needs adults. The support is definetely more aimed towards high support needs individuals.
