Leah is a parent of four, two of whom are autistic. As president of Bendigo Autism Aspergers Group (BAAG) its been great to join forces with Different Journeys and share our shared visions. I am current school council president of Bendigo Special Developmental School and Ambassador for Marist College Parent Partnership Initiative. I’m really passionate about providing opportunities for the Bendigo area to better support our autism and carer communities. Leah has extensive experience in advocating for her own children and want to share these learning with others.
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.
