For Autistic individuals, accessing the community, attending special events, and even performing necessary daily tasks can be extremely challenging. But we can help make the world better suited for those on the autism spectrum. First, with a greater awareness of neurodiversity, and second, by making genuine changes that support, include and welcome Autsitic people.
These changes can help create a far more inclusive environment for those who need it.
- 1 in 5 people have a disability, with 80-90% of these being hidden disabilities
- An estimated 1 in 40 Australians are on the autism spectrum
- If you include their families and carers, autism becomes a daily part of life for over 1 million Australians
It is our mission to create an autism-friendly Australia where everyone has a place to play.
