The system is changing, but where is the safety net? As the NDIS tightens its criteria, more autistic people are having their eligibility reassessed - and often revoked - without foundational supports in place. AAA CEO Nicole Rogerson puts it bluntly: “They didn’t build any other lifeboats.” https://buff.ly/2qXHpkB We’re urging state and federal governments to act now. Autistic children deserve certainty and continuity of support, not confusion and anxiety. Join us and help keep the pressure on: https://buff.ly/hsK69iC #NDIS #AutismAwareness #PolicyReform #AutismAdvocacy #InclusionMatters #AAA
