This morning at NSW Parliament, I joined A Brilliant Brunch with @Aspect, listening to the experiences of Autistic people and their families. Their stories highlight why understanding and inclusion matter —not just during World Autism Understanding Week but every day.

Everyone can play a role in making a difference! Check out Aspect’s resources and website: www.aspect.org.au/waud and listen to or read about the stories and experiences of Autistic Australians.

Approximately 1 in 40 Australians are Autistic, and according to a recent survey, 33% of us don’t know how to respond if someone tells us they are Autistic -whether in words or actions.

We all have a role to play in building a more inclusive Australia. For World Autism Understanding Week, check out www.aspect.org.au/waud about what you can say and do to be supportive and helpful. There are also videos, podcasts and stories where you can learn more about the experiences of Autistic people.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet with Aspect employees and Autistic individuals and hear firsthand about the challenges and strengths of Autistic people and their families during the A Brilliant Brunch in NSW Parliament.

This year, I’m proud to join @Aspect in acknowledging and celebrating World Autism Understanding Day (2 April). Meeting with Autistic people and their families at NSW Parliament reinforced the importance of making small but meaningful changes to foster inclusion.

True inclusion starts with listening to Autistic people. At NSW Parliament, I met with @Aspect staff, Autistic individuals and parents of children on the autism spectrum, gaining valuable insights into the experiences of Autistic people and the barriers they continue to face.

World Autism Understanding Day (2 April) is a time to reflect, learn, and take action towards a more inclusive world. Explore resources and perspectives from the Autistic community here: www.aspect.org.au/waud #WAUD2025 (@tag Aspect)

Today is World Autism Understanding Day. Autistic people are valued members of Australian society, but sadly the unemployment rate for Autistic people was 18%, more than double the rate for people with disability (8%) and almost six times the rate of people without disability (3%). (ABS 2022)

We can all create more autism-friendly environments to allow participation in the community and work. Learn more about this hidden disability and autism-friendly workplaces at www.aspect.org.au/waud #WAUD2025 (@tag Aspect)
