I was diagnosed at very young as autistic with GDD and later confirmed with intellectual disability.
I enjoy going to DJ to speak at the event, to cook the BBQ at the swim nights and to help everyone, I like to be on the front table registering new people and at the quiz handing out the chocolates.
I like Different Journeys because I like eating and having fun with my friends and the Different Journeys support team. They make it very easy for me to volunteer and be myself.
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.
