  • I would imagine complex means there are multiple areas where support is needed. So there is no simple solution, adaptation or change that solves or reduces the problem. There are a number of probably interlinked areas each requiring something. Possibly different people are needed for different items, requiring more coordination.

    Essential could mean essential needs, like eating. Or it could refer to issues that are related to autism directly, as opposed to some other co-occurring condition.
