I’m walking 7k steps a day this May to support Autistic Australians like me

Hi friends and fam,

I’ve stepped up to Walk for Autism and support other autistic folks like me and their loved ones. Please donate to help me raise awareness for autistic Australians and the challenges they face throughout their lives; especially those who go unnoticed and undiagnosed until later in life, as many autistic girls, women, and non-binary folks do.

Did you know that 1 in 40 Australians are autistic?! But because our society is not designed with autistic and neurodivergent people in mind, 70% of autistic Australians experience significant mental health challenges. I know this firsthand, having dealt with numerous and chronic mental health challenges like anxiety and OCD for my whole life.

That's why I'm walking 7k steps a day in May to fundraise for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia). Can you please support me? It would be much very much appreciated, my loves! <3

Your donation will help deliver frontline support services that enable autistic people to live their best lives – myself included, yay! 

For example, funds raised can help autistic people and their families to access earlier diagnosis, provide autism-specific schooling for children (that definitely would've helped me), and support research initiatives for designing more inclusive, autism-friendly environments overall.

Please support my Walk for Autism and donate now. Thank you so much! :-)

Love,

Sarah xx

P.S. Good thing I adore walking!
