Anastasia is on the clapperboard and camera gear, Mitch has joined the production crew, and Bethany is mentoring the new students. Their return shows how the skills and confidence gained in Season 1 are shaping the next chapter.

It’s wonderful to see:

Final days to write your Will FREE with Safewill—don’t miss out! ⌚

Writing your will takes just 20 minutes and can make a lifetime of difference. A gift of just 1% in your Will can help build schools, fund research, upgrade important services and shape a future where Autistic people live their life, their way, every single day.

Hear from Amanda, one of our lovely supporters on why she left a gift in her Will to Aspect:

💬 “Whether you’re neurodivergent or not, I think organisations like Aspect that support advocacy, education, and policy change are really important, especially for the next generation of people. It’s really important to give back. It’s a way of preserving the values that I really care about once I’m gone.”

🎬 Casting call - closing soon!
Travel is a universal dream, but not everyone experiences it the same way.
We’re teaming up with a TV production company on a doc-style travel series that celebrates seeing the world through the eyes of Autistic adults. Right now, we’re filming a 3–4 minute sizzle reel to pitch the series.

We’re looking for Autistic adults (18+) to share their travel stories to be included in the sizzle reel.

📍 Melbourne-based preferred for ease of filming, but Zoom interviews welcome if you’re elsewhere
📅 Filming Monday 29 Sept
✅No TV or travel experience required

Get in quick! Applications close Friday 26 September.

Employment rates for Autistic adults are low compared to the general population. With your help, we’re working to change that.

In our latest study, we are investigating the attitudes and perspectives of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) towards employing Autistic people. We’re interested in hearing from cafés, gyms, tradies, boutiques, health professionals, accountants, dog groomers, restaurants, etc with less than 200 employees.

You can help us with this study by asking owners and hiring staff from Australian SMBs you know to complete a 20-minute survey: www.tinyurl.com/ARCAPbusiness

To make it easier, we’ve created a downloadable flyer you can share:https://www.aspect.org.au/uploads/documents/Research/SME-business-flyer.pdf

Thank you! With your help, we look forward to better understanding how to support Australian businesses to hire Autistic staff.

Did you see the news from Sunrise this morning with Aspect’s clinical psychologist, Dr Fiona Aldridge and Professor Adam Guastella?

Fiona explained what autism is and why the prevalence is now estimated at 1 in 40 Australians. She highlighted that greater awareness, better understanding and the voices of Autistic adults have helped make autism more widely recognised.

At Aspect, we know first-hand that knowledge is empowering. A formal autism diagnosis can open doors to understanding, supports, therapies, and services designed just for you or your loved one. Find out more about Aspect’s autism assessments at https://www.aspect.org.au/assessments

🎉🎈 We’ve extended our partnership with Victoria University, Melbourne Australia to 2028, a collaboration that is opening doors for Autistic adults, strengthening the disability services workforce and helping create more inclusive university environments.

Over the past three year we’ve:
- Opened our first on-campus Adult Community Services centre at St Albans campus
- Welcomed 24 student placements and hired 4 graduates
- Supported accessibility initiatives like sensory-friendly quiet rooms on campus

We're proud of what we've achieved together, and excited for what’s ahead – including research in improving experiences of Autistic people in health and emergency settings.

🎬 Season 2 of The Assembly is almost here!

We’ve once again partnered with Bus Stop Films and Macquarie University to support the students, both on camera and behind the scenes.

Our Aspect Autism Friendly team provided crew training, offered hands-on support during the Macquarie University Journalism course and every episode, and acted as a key point of communication between cast and crew. Throughout filming, we ensured each student’s strengths and needs could shine on screen ✨

Get ready for another inspiring season! Stream the new season of The Assembly from Sunday 7:30pm on ABC iview and ABC TV.
