In this episode Mel chats with Benison O'Reilly and Seana Smith - co-authors of what’s known as “the essential guide” for parents of children with autism - about their new, fully updated edition of The Australian Autism Handbook. Benison and Seana both have sons with autism and this conversation covers some of what’s changed in the years since they launched the first edition of The Australian Autism Handbook back in 2008. The NDIS, of course, has majorly shaken up the disability space - and Benison and Seana share their advice for autism families who are new to the scheme.
