'He struggled through school, feared he wouldn't have coped at university, and
lives with a genetic condition, but somehow Will Golding has used his
disability to create his dream career.
But it didn't come easily.
The 25-year-old was paying a support worker through the National Disability
Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for years to help him become more social.
Instead, he would spend for more than 12 hours a day alone in his room, playing
video games to manage the isolation.
Will said it was a byproduct of NDIS carers who were too inexperienced, too
young, and turned over too quickly to know what to do with a young neurodiverse
adult.
"Some of them were 18, some of them were just about to turn 18, and a lot of
them weren't really qualified at all," he said.'
