Autism

Many of us have that one person in our work or family life we perceive as “difficult”.

We might feel frustrated, confused or even alarmed when we're with them or even think about them.

This can take a toll on mental health and well-being.

​

Sometimes Autism is a factor in these relationships.

​

I support you to bridge the communication gap, offering tools to understand and manage what is perceived as “difficult” behavior with deeper understanding and practical empathy.

​

As a mother to an Autistic daughter, I am passionate about enhancing communication and fostering stronger, more inclusive relationships.

Autism changes the way that one sees, experiences and understands the world. 

​

In 2022, there were 290,900 (1.1%) Autistic Australians and 85% of Australians have a personal connection with an Autistic person.

​

Through guiding non-autistic people to use empathy, active listening, and other communication skills, my goal is to diminish the feelings of isolation experienced by autistic individuals and ensure that their unique talents are recognized and valued.

​

Making some small adjustments to be more welcoming to Autistic people is a simple and easy way to become more inclusive and open to new audiences, colleagues and customers.
