We are joined by Dr Michelle Garnett from Attwood and Garnett Events to answer questions from our Positive Action Autism ADHD Group on Facebook, on the topic of Dating and Relationships.

The questions are:

- I am worried about my child’s safely in the dating world. Any advice for both her and myself?

- Can you share some examples of what healthy relationships look like for young adults on the

Autism Spectrum?

- What are the first steps to take, when your child expresses an interest in dating or asks what dating / love is?

- Are there resources you recommend (e.g. visuals, books) for a teenager or young adult who has an interest in moving beyond friendship?

- As a caregiver, how do you explain the risks? Or teach important skills such as boundaries, consent and safety?

This episode breaks down the often confusing world of NDIS funding with advice on how your plan can be managed.

Pippa Alexander and Justine Hall from Plan Tracker—Plan Management bring their wealth of knowledge and experience to offer some excellent ways to approach your funding management.

In this episode, Pippa and Justine answer the following questions from the Facebook group:

- How can I tell if my child has funding for a particular activity?

- For self-managers, when they say Core funding is flexible, what does that mean exactly?

- Can we get funding for education for carers? (eg. learning more about how to support our autistic kids)

- How can I start with my child's vision/goals for my child and reverse engineer the funding versus the other way around?

- If a support worker asks if my child has 'target transport and life skills under 15_037_0117_1_3' how can I tell if we have this?
