Thank you to Autism Awareness Australia for continuing to support the voices of families and advocate for meaningful change.

The release of the 2025 National Autism Parent and Carer Survey Report is equally powerful as it is heartbreaking. While it's so important that this information is being gathered and shared, it's incredibly disappointing to see that, year after year, we are not making the progress our community deserves.

The stories shared by more than 1,200 families speak volumes: a system that is fragmented, under-resourced, and often fundamentally unfit for purpose. Families are exhausted. Children are being left behind. We are failing autistic people, particularly in the early years where the right supports can make the biggest difference.

Early diagnosis and access to intensive, evidence-based early intervention during the formative years is critical. It’s not about changing who a child is, it’s about giving them the tools, opportunities, and support to empower and thrive as themselves.

At Mosaic Early Intervention, we are committed to a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognises the strengths, individuality, and potential of every autistic child. But we can’t do this work alone.

We must keep pushing for:
✔️ Timely and accessible diagnostic assessments
✔️ Genuine access to best practice early intervention for all children
✔️ Systems that respect and respond to the needs of autistic people and their families

Families deserve action. Children deserve a future where they are seen, heard, and supported to reach their full potential.

Let’s keep advocating. Let’s keep listening. And let’s do better, together. 🦋
