Holmesville Carers who care for autistic family members in the home can be as challenged as anyone in any occupation in the world.  Scores of families from all over New South Wales have come face-to-face with the reality that their autistic child, now 25 years old, still lives at home.  And, for the past few years, there has been a growing behavioral challenge with regard to the regularity of unexpected, unprovoked outbursts and violent temper-tantrums related to self-autonomy. 

The sense of a need for self-autonomy in an adult is ever present, even if its realization is delayed or misunderstood.  It is usually about this time that the family is being forced to make far too many sacrifices in order to accommodate the autistic adult-child who is, e.g., still self-sequestered in the next room.   Caring for Holmesville autism can absorb all of your energy and leave  you with no ability to do anything else.  Caring for an autistic family member - even if for years - can often times leave carers so overwhelmed that they become emotionally paralyzed by not knowing what to do next.  This can exact a tremendous toll on a family - exponentially so, if the Holmesville carer is trying to do all the caring by themselves.

FIRST 5 STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A FAMILY MEMBER IS  DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM

Discovering the realities of autism can be devastating to any family.  When a family member is diagnosed with autism, regrdless of their age, the first step is to contact the NDIS who is there to support you and your family.

 

1.  Contact the NDIS directly by phone and by website.  Both will be valuable interactions.  The NDIS will help you get registered into the Scheme so that you can begin to realize their assistance as soon as possible.  

2.  Visit with a LAC or NDIS Support Coordinators.  Your Support Coordinator is the single most important nexus between you and well managed benefits.  The Support Coordinators are keenly aware, and extremely compassionate  about their participation in the Scheme.  Generally it is through your Holmesville Support Coordinator that you will be put in touch with a service provider, such as Corner House Services.  

3.Work out your plan and stick to your plan

4. Don't get mesmerized by the discretionary economic support of the NDIS   Budget your funds wisely as they are limited.

 

5. Begin immediately (in the case of adults with autism) to promote a socialization goal and the objectives of Holmesville Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Possibly this is not true for everyone - however, eventually a family who has been caring for an autistic family member as lovingly as possible for years, is likely to completely consume their ability to cope with that autistic adult member of the family.   Countless hours of frustrating episodes, exhausting trial & error solutions and spontaneous de-escalation remedies can reduce the most well-balanced family unit to rubble.  It is usually about that time when the primary carer(s) of the family contacts Corner House Services.  Because of our renown expertise and successful track record in providing smooth transitions from the home to Holmesville Supported Independent Living for autistic adults, Corner House Services is the right NDIS Approved Preferred Service Provider to call.

Corner House Services, as an organization, first exudes the virtue of genuine patience.  Patience together with years of experiential bandwidth is what it takes to provide a more seamless, i.e., smooth transition from a challenging yet secure home environment to living away from home in a Holmesville SIL home.

Transitioning from the home to supported independent living outside the home is an undertaking that is both dynamic and daunting.  For Holmesville autistic adults who have lived at home their entire lives and who have also been taken care of by a primary caretaker (e.g., their parents), making the decision to leave the home and embark upon a journey of interpersonal, intellectual development is only the beginning of a passage that often takes years just to approach fruition, i.e., SIL.  And then from there, it is a daily commitment that never ends.  Because, in Holmesville Supported Independent Living is not a destination .  It is a way to travel.
