LIFE had always had its challenges for Sean, but it wasn't until he was in his 40s that the Raymond Terrace man was formally diagnosed with autism.
The father of three said he saw similar personality traits between himself and his youngest son, who also has autism.
The NDIS support has allowed Sean to flourish in his own small business, a local lawn mowing service.
Sean now has supports to improve his mobility, reduce muscle pain plus support workers.
