Perth Dad Simon Lewis described the "harrowing" and "heartbreaking" experiences his family have endured with his 16-year-old daughter Madeleine, who has level 3 autism.

Stressing his profound love for his daughter, Mr Lewis said he and his wife had been pushed to the limit by some of her behaviours, which were outside her control.

"We're just trying minute by minute to keep it together," Mr Lewis told Nadia Mitsopoulos on 102.5 ABC Perth.

Madeleine is not verbal and cannot articulate her needs or feelings, and requires 24-hour care so she does not harm herself or others.

"The pressure on families such as mine is through the roof — there's not even a counselling service to ring up," he said.

Mr Lewis said another source of pressure was his enduring fear that Madeleine's NDIS funding, which enabled the family to employ carers and psychological help for Madeleine, could be cut.

"There are families going through this today, and there'll be families going through this tomorrow, and it's time that the severe end of the community is noticed and is helped," he said.
