My autism journey began over 15 years ago with the diagnosis of my middle child. Now I have 2! I began working with DJ’s in 2021 and am loving it!! What a great organisation to work for who support not only me but everyone in my family. I love attending swim nights, carer events, teen dinners and my favourite, the Autism Family Camps. I love everything finance so you will find me looking after the bills, paying the wages and doing budgets. I enjoy baking and crafting so this is where you will find me at family camp, completing gem art, doing a little art therapy and decorating cookies.
Different Journeys would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the different lands on which we meet today. We respect all Aboriginal Elders past and present We aim to collaborate with our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander friends in the autistic community to connect, empower and support each other and exchange isolation, prejudice and ignorance with connections, hope and community. We acknowledge that the connection to autism and lived experience is our common ground. We acknowledge, respect and maintain that our custodians have cultivated these lands and we continue to learn together.
