Obvious

Thank you all above for your insight and first hand accounts. It is greatly helpful.

I'm capable of looking after myself, working? Not so much. I thought I made it clear my social skills debilitate my chances of employment.

Hello, this is my first post to this site so forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong section or such. I will attempt to keep it short, as this is a mere inquiry for feedback from anyone who may be knowledgeable on the topic. I moved from the United Kingdom in 2013, to Western Australia. The move was stressful and I never really felt like it was home. That is, until around 2020/2021. Towards the end of 2021 we moved back from WA to the UK, due to cost of living, stress, missing family etc, the usual. However I really found myself enjoying Perth towards the last two years and felt it became my real home. It also shaped me into who I am today as I grew up there during the most crucial years of character building, if that makes sense. So I plan on moving back for 2023, on my own (Which is new to me since I have always been a home bird, not to mention living away from parents on the other side of the planet). To make things worse, or better, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorders in 2019. To put a long story short, this diagnosis followed by seeing many therapists led to me being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the more common term is Aspergers but I believe they are trying to move away from calling it that. Which I believe falls under the NDIS list of benefits eligibility. Now that you have some backstory, I wish to ask if anyone is well versed on the NDIS and its features, or who it benefits and what to expect. I can read their site all day but I feel as if asking people with experience may help. What do they offer? What can I expect them to fund for me? Would housing be apart of the package? As in, would they pay for my rent or something similar? I don't want it to seem as if I am just trying to leech off them with benefits, more that I want support and a foundation since I am quite terrible socially. I also want to know how NDIS works for employment, or rather lack thereof since I am scared to go into employment with my lack of social skills. I hope I have made sense, and I apologise in advance if I did something wrong like post in the wrong section or such. Any feedback appreciated.
