Autism changes the way that you see, experience and understand the world.
At least 1 in 100 Australians is Autistic and 85% of Australians have a personal connection with an Autistic person.
Making some small adjustments to be more welcoming to Autistic people is a simple way to become more inclusive and open your doors to new audiences, colleagues and customers.
​
From Samantha's talks, you can expect to:
-
gain insights into how to minimize conflict and misunderstanding whenever you interact with Autistic adults
-
feel inspired to grow, learn and be more
-
share a vision of a society that is compassionate and inclusive of Autism
Through guiding non-autistic people to use empathy, active listening, and other communication skills, Samantha's goal is to diminish the feelings of isolation experienced by autistic individuals and ensure that their unique talents are recognized and valued.
With a background as a lawyer in South Africa and later founding a mediation and communication training business, Samantha brings a wealth of experience to her mission of raising awareness about stigmas and challenging prejudices.
Drawing inspiration from her personal journey as a mother to an autistic daughter and her role as a disability support worker, Samantha shares her experiences, along with practical guidelines.
