autism in school

With my daughter and I both on the spectrum it has been a learning curve. 
I was diagnosed at 32! Do you have any idea how hard it is to access the supports needed living in the central west ? Let alone for an adult .
My daughters diagnosis was a huge step towards getting ndis funding for further supports and the schools do so many extra courses , learning days and routines to help support the needs of my daughter and have made school a huge impact on her love for school, but you know what? They could do more, if they had access to the funding !

I'm walking 7k steps a day this May to support Autistic Australians

I’ve stepped up to Walk for Autism. Please show your support as I walk my own brilliant way for Autistic Australians and their families!

Did you know? Because the world is not autism-friendly, 70% of Autistic people in Australia experience mental health issues.

That's why I'm walking 7k steps a day in May to fundraise for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia). Can you please support me?

Your donation will help deliver services that support Autistic people to live their best life.

Funds raised can help Autistic people and their families access earlier diagnosis, provide autism-specific schooling for children on the autism spectrum, support research and help create inclusive, autism-friendly environments.

Please support my Walk for Autism and donate now. Thank you so much!
