Autism is as unique as a fingerprint—yet we’re forcing standardised solutions on individual needs.

The removal of neurofeedback funding reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of autism’s nature. Each autistic person has distinct neurological patterns, sensory responses, and developmental needs. Forcing everyone into standardised treatment pathways ignores the scientific evidence supporting personalised interventions.

Neurofeedback offers a level of customisation that standard therapies can’t match.

This treatment adapts to individual brain patterns, providing targeted support based on specific neurological needs. When we remove this option, we’re not just limiting choice—we’re ignoring the scientific principles that make it effective for certain individuals.

Research consistently shows that personalised approaches yield better outcomes.

The decision to defund neurofeedback contradicts the growing body of evidence supporting individualised autism care. We’re moving backwards, away from evidence-based personalisation and toward a one-size-fits-all approach that science has shown to be less effective.

We must align NDIS funding with scientific understanding, not administrative convenience.

Reinstating neurofeedback funding isn’t just about restoring a treatment option—it’s about acknowledging the scientific reality that autism requires personalised care approaches. Our support systems must reflect the individual nature of autism itself.
