Max and Rachel

I'm walking 7k steps a day this May to support Autistic Australians

I’ve stepped up to Walk for Autism. Please show your support as I walk my own brilliant way for Autistic Australians and families like my own.

As a family with two children with Autism, we know firsthand the challenges and joys of navigating life with autism. Everyday activities and tasks that neurotypical people take for granted can be so incredibly challenging. From the onset of getting a diagnosis to trying to help your child emotionally regulate themselves in a world that only accepts people who are considered ā€œnormalā€ — an experience many families like ours can relate to. It’s a constant reminder of how much work is needed to build a world that truly understands and supports autistic individuals.

Our world is not autism-friendly.

That's why we are walking 7k steps a day in May to fundraise for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia).Ā 

Your donation will help deliver services that support Autistic people to live their best life.

Funds raised can help Autistic people and their families access earlier diagnosis, provide autism-specific schooling for children on the autism spectrum, support research and help create inclusive, autism-friendly environments.

Please support our Walk for Autism and donate now. Thank you so much!
