I am thrilled to learn that a new air security policy has recently been introduced to allow people with non-visible disabilities to keep their assistive technology with them as they are being screened.

This new policy will make air travel a more accessible and less stressful experience for people with non-visible disabilities such as autism as we no longer have to part with the very items that we need to cope in this extremely overwhelming environment.

You can learn more about this exciting new policy on the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs website: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/what-we-do/travelsecure/people-with-special-circumstances

I welcome this new policy as it is a step in the right direction in making air travel more accessible; however, there is still a long way to go before air travel is fully accessible for people with disabilities.

I look forward to seeing more changes in the near future that will make airports and planes accessible for all.

Here is my short response to recent claims coming out of the US regarding autism. I usually try not to talk about politics on our socials, however due to the harmful misinformation from the Trump administration regarding autism I cannot sit idly by.

I would like to sincerely apologise to all mothers with children on the autism spectrum. You did not cause your child’s autism by taking paracetamol during pregnancy, there is very little evidence to support this claim.

Autism is a natural variantion in the brain and has existed long before vaccines and medications.

This world needs neurodiversity as without it the world we live in today would not exist.

We understand that this is a distressing time for many in our community and would like to remind you that you are not alone. If you need someone to talk to during this time please reach out.

I am thrilled to learn that Melbourne Airport are introducing their Mobility Hubs as a permanent feature from this September.

These Mobility Hubs provide a space for travellers with a disability to ask access-related questions, collect sunflower lanyards, get a lift from the car park to the terminal and much, much more, making flying a more accessible experience for everyone. I was proud to play a small part in the initial design of this service, and I look forward to seeing these hubs every time I visit Melbourne Airport.

You can learn more about accessing Melbourne Airport as a person with a disability by heading to their Online Mobility Hub linked below.

Last week, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to assist Victoria University (VU) by providing feedback on their social stories for their upcoming Open Days.

These social stories will assist people with a disability, international students and even staff and volunteers to understand what to expect when attending an Open Day at Victoria University.

You can now access the social stories by following the links below.

I am also excited to learn that VU have more things planned as part of an initiative to make the university more accessible for neurodivergent individuals. Stay tuned to learn more about what Victoria University and I are working on together.
