Hello and welcome @Trishcarer

have you tried Autism Australia or Autism Queensland

my 3 stepsons were all diagnosed with ADHD when they were young and it has followed them and I am very sure 2 of them have ASD

sending you lots of hugs as I am learning more as my husband throughout his life has been diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar2, OCD, Depression and anxiety and now his Mental health team thinks he has High functioning ASD which he wants to get a proper diagnosis

We live in regional QLD is hard , I know as I live in Far north Queensland

I was told I have to find a specialist that is a ASD specialist

I am tagging @Jynx here as might have some added suggestions
