Disability Awareness Hub.

🌟 Understanding SHINE Syndrome 🌟
First identified in 2021, SHINE Syndrome is a rare genetic condition linked to the DLG4 gene, affecting brain development and function.

SHINE stands for:
đź’› Sleep issues
đź’› Hypotonia (low muscle tone)
đź’› Intellectual disability
đź’› Neurological disorders
đź’› Epilepsy

Everyone’s experience with SHINE Syndrome is different, which is why a personalised, multidisciplinary approach to care is so important.

Body doubling isn’t a luxury—it’s a support need.

For many neurodivergent people, including those with autism or ADHD, simply having someone physically present can make the difference between feeling stuck and getting things done.

It can look like:
🛒 Shopping with a friend so it’s less overwhelming
🧺 Folding laundry while a support worker chats nearby
🤝 Sharing a task so it feels lighter and less daunting

This presence provides structure, safety, and emotional grounding—helping with motivation, reducing anxiety, and even making social situations more manageable.

Your presence matters more than you think đź’› Read the full blog here: https://www.helpz.com.au/tharons-thoughts-why-body-doubling-is-a-lifeline-not-a-luxury

Australia is leading the way in autism support — with the world watching.

Professor Andrew Whitehouse recently spoke on Changing Australia about new national guidelines and a groundbreaking early intervention program that can start as early as six months of age.

By focusing on each child’s unique strengths and involving families as key partners, this approach is changing the game for autistic children, their families, and the services that support them.

Find out how this shift is shaping SIL and community-based services, and why early engagement makes all the difference ➡ https://www.helpz.com.au/revolutionising-autism-support-a-new-era-for-australian-families

Did you know spending just 20 minutes in nature can lower your stress hormones? 🌳

Even a quick walk in the park or sitting in a leafy spot can reduce cortisol, lift your mood, and support your mental health.

Did you know that info dumping, parallel play and penguin pebbling are all forms of autistic love languages? In Part 2 of Tharon’s series on communication differences between neurotypical and autistic individuals, we explore how love is expressed in ways that are authentic, meaningful, and often misunderstood.

Whether you’re a parent, support worker, or simply someone wanting to better understand the neurodivergent people in your life, this is a must-read. Let’s celebrate neurodiversity by learning how different brains show love, connection, and care.
