The start of May (and official beginning of autumn) finally brought some proper cold and rainy days to Adelaide too! The clouds are hiding the sun a bit more, but they can’t stop the bright smiles - and of course a bit of cold weather won’t stop our lifestyle & recreation groups from having a gr...

🌈 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 🌈

Total Support Services is proud to now offer 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆‑𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 across Southeast Queensland.

For many people, the phrase “neurodiversity‑affirming behaviour support” feels like an oxymoron — and sadly, that’s because truly affirming practice is still incredibly rare.

Our approach is different by design.

Our specialist registered behaviour practitioner in South-East Queensland is AuDHD (autistic + ADHD) herself. That lived experience informs a practice grounded in respect, collaboration, and deep understanding — not compliance, masking, or behaviour change for the comfort of others.
*Keep an eye on our socials to learn more about her in the near future

✨ We affirm each person’s natural way of navigating the world.
✨ We centre strategies around meeting unmet needs, supporting regulation, and preventing distress.

Because everyone is simply trying their best. Sometimes we all just need some support.

If you’ve been searching for support that actually honours neurodivergent people as they are — you’re not alone, and you’re welcome here.

📍 Available now across Southeast Queensland

🌈 Meet our QLD Based Neurodiversity-affirming Behaviour Practitioner 🌈

Hi everyone! I’m Amelia (I also go by Millie) ☀️

I’m a Specialist Behaviour Practitioner in South-East QLD, and someone who genuinely loves the magical chaos of working with neurodivergent humans. 🤩

I’m proudly AuDHD (Autistic + ADHD), which means I don’t just understand neurodivergence professionally, but I've lived it every day of my life. As a single mum to an awesome AuDHD 4-year-old, my world is equal parts sensory-friendly strategies, dopamine negotiations, and helping my little person navigate a world that often struggles to understand how his wonderfully unique brain works. 🧠✨

I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience into my work, practicing exclusively through a neurodiversity-affirming framework, with a strong focus on neuroscience-based support and Dr Ross Greene's principle, "Kids do well when they can".

I often explain the way I work with clients to be similar to an investigator and interpreter. I use neuroscience-based strategies to identify what my clients need to feel safe and regulated, and what unmet needs exist that lead to dysregulation (a.k.a. “behaviours of concern”). I use this knowledge to inform the evidence-based strategies I develop, with the goal of needs being reliably met, subsequently preventing dysregulation. 🎉

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me chasing a bit of adrenaline (skydiving and bungee jumping are favourites at the moment), caring for my ever-growing collection of plants, or figuring out how to make life work WITH my brain instead of against it.

Fun fact: I have a condition called RCPD… which means I can’t burp. Ever. Not even once. It’s as inconvenient as it sounds — but a great conversation starter. 🤭
