Stephen Shore coined the phrase, “If you’ve met one person with Autism, you’ve met one person with Autism”. Different Journeys is reflective of this because each and everyone’s journey with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is different. No two journeys are the same because no one individual is the same.
Our logos were created by a parent of a child with ASD. They can be interpreted in many ways either as talking marks and or people socialising.
Different Journeys specialises in helping teens and adults living with ASD, and their families, to come together and socialise in a safe and supportive environment with the aim to share the journey, celebrate, connect, and create positive communities.
To provide social platforms that connect autistic youth and autistic adults and their families in inclusive safe and supportive environments.
This enables us to provide individualised wraparound supports to decrease the prevalence of mental illness and social isolation in the autism community and enhance their employment and education opportunities. It also creates a place for the broader community to embrace, learn from and empower the autism community.
A future where autistic people fully participate in public life facilitated by community awareness and understanding.
To create ways for the autism community to connect, empower and support each other and exchange isolation, prejudice and ignorance with connections, hope and community. We support Celebrations. We provide Connections. We create Communities.
