Panadol or Tylenol DO NOT cause autism. Autism is genetic. It is not a human deficiency it is a strength.

They are doing this as the NDIS is no longer funding any group supports. 😔Thyr want everything individualised but what they don’t realise is that you can develop real skills in group programs. Hence people who attend this service will have their core funding changed eventually and Centacare knows this.

Centacare's plan to withdraw its NDIS-funded disability services by the end of the year is expected to affect hundreds of clients and about 600 jobs.

🌿 Supporting Neurodivergent Colleagues in the Workplace 🌿

Creating a neuro-inclusive workplace doesn't have to be complicated — it starts with small, intentional actions:

✅ Plan together: Work as a team to organise in-office and remote working days. Schedule regular check-ins with clear actions and achievable timelines.

✅ Record and reflect: Transcribe or record meetings so everyone has a chance to review, reflect, and absorb information in their own time.

✅ Make honesty safe: Build a culture where colleagues feel comfortable sharing openly, knowing their voices are valued.

✅ Encourage learning: Help team members grow by recognising their unique learning styles and sharing skills in ways that suit them.

✅ Ask about needs: Don’t assume — proactively ask if anyone has specific workplace needs or preferences.

✅ Check in regularly: A simple “How are you today?” can make a real difference.

✅ Keep the conversation going: Have ongoing chats with your team.

Neurodivergence is part of workplace diversity. Let’s make sure everyone feels supported, seen, and set up to succeed. 💙

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what it’s like living as an autistic woman who wasn’t diagnosed until later in life. For years, I was told I had depression or anxiety, but no one asked why I felt that way.

The truth is, trying to operate in a world built for neurotypical people can be overwhelming. The constant social puzzles, the unspoken rules, the sensory overload — it’s exhausting. And when you don’t know you’re autistic, it feels like you’re just “failing” at being a person.

One thing that often gets overlooked is that many of us have really strong interests that bring us joy and purpose. For me, it’s history, politics, cats, and travel. These aren’t just hobbies — they’re lifelines, things I can focus on when everything else feels too much.

If you’re reading this and any of it sounds familiar, you’re not alone. There are so many of us out there, only now learning who we really are.
