WEBINARS AND INSIGHTS

We share our Autistic insights through personal stories and professional development. Worldwide, we offer free webinars and online resources via our newsletter and social media pages. Since 2016, we have been running an annual campaign called Humans on the Autism Spectrum, through which we celebrate the personal stories and insights of Autistics in our network. In 2020, we are proud to have partnered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme to deliver Humans on the Autism Spectrum: School Leavers.

You can also preview our series of seven webinars with accompanying tip sheets produced by Autistic young adults in our team – covering topics such as navigating young adult life; Autism and common co-occuring conditions like ADHD, anxiety and dyslexia; identifying as Autistic and LGBTIQA+; developing advocacy skills and more. We are so grateful to the Derpartment of Health and Human Services (Vic) for valuing Autistic voices and helping us deliver these insights to Autistic young people. We value your feedback.

LGBTIQA+ & AUTISTIC TIPS FROM YOUNG ADULTS
