The I CAN Network was formed in September 2013, in response to the momentum from Founder Chris Varney’s TEDx, ‘Autism – How My Unstoppable Mother Proved the Experts Wrong’. The network was offically launched (pictured) at NAB Bank Melbourne, November 23rd 2015.

WE EMBRACE AUTISM
Our staff are available to provide comments for commercial use across many subjects: including education, politics, employment, advocacy, business, health and mental health, LGBTQIA+ and more. We are also familiar with working across all mediums, including video, audio and textual pieces.
We encourage journalists writing about Autism to consult with members of the Autistic community to add an inclusive, personal and realistic dimension to their work. Our team is a well placed source of Autistic voices who provide guidelines upon request for journalists, bloggers and content creators that can help you create accurate and respectful representations of Autism in the community. These guidelines have been shaped by Autistic input and are also available in black and white for easier viewing.
If you would like a copy of our guidelines, please get in touch with us at chris@icannetwork.com.au.
