April 13 is Auslan Day! An initiative of Deaf Australia, this is a day to recognise and celebrate the preferred language, of many Deaf Australians as well as the rich history and culture of the Deaf community. Celebrating Auslan Day annually, also helps raise awareness and education amongst the wider community.

So, what is Auslan?

Auslan is a distinct and recognised language - the language of the Australian Deaf Community. The word Auslan is made up by taking some of the letters of each of the words Australian Sign Language and combining them. Au-S-Lan = Auslan

Australian Sign Language/Auslan has been used in Australia since the 1900s. It is difficult to identify the exact date when Auslan was first used, but there is there is evidence in Australia of Deaf people signing in Australia as far back as the 1820s.

Fun Fact - Sign Language is not a universal language. Just like any spoken language, sign language varies between countries and there are over 300 different sign languages that are used globally.

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. It affects how people experience, interact with, and relate to the world around them. Autism affects people differently – which is why there’s a common saying: “If you’ve met one Autistic person, you’ve met one Autistic person.”

Autistic people have different experiences and need different levels of support.

There are many misunderstandings about autism that can be harmful, and these can make it harder for Autistic people to access the support they need.

Here are some facts about autism that are often misunderstood:
🧠 Most Autistic people want to make friends, though some may find this difficult.
🧠 Autistic people experience the same range of emotions as other people, they may just express them differently.
🧠 Autism is defined by differences in social communication and behaviours, not intelligence. Intellectual disability or high intelligence may co occur with autism.
🧠 There is no cure for autism, but Autistic people can develop skills for life with the right support.

Autistic people have great strengths which should be celebrated. These include:
🧠 Noticing patterns, details, or inconsistencies that others may miss.
🧠 Deep focus and persistence, particularly when working on areas of interest.
🧠 Honesty, integrity, and direct communication, which can support trust and clarity in relationships.
