If you take the time to read it, and think about it, and act on it, and share it, we can make the world a little bit better.
Because little changes to our behaviour can make a big difference to an autistic person, who canβt change.
I developed a public education campaign strategy with Amaze, Victoria’s peak autism body. πͺπππππ ππππ πΉππππππππ launched yesterday with $2.8m funding from the Victorian Government.
Some extraordinary research commissioned by Amaze informed πͺπππππ ππππ πΉππππππππ.
It shows autism awareness in the community is through the roof, with 98% of Australians having heard of it. But there’s a yawning gap between that awareness and true understanding, which makes autistic people and their families feel unwelcome, isolated and judged for their differences.

So please.
Read a little.
Watch a little.
Be a little kinder.
