Yellow Ladybugs Conference 2023: Supporting Burnout

I’m so happy to once again be speaking at the Yellow Ladbugs conference this year, alongside the incredible autism advocates Gilly (@neurodivergent_researcher) and Autistic lawyer Annie Crow (@_anniecrowe). We’ll be chatting about Autistic burnout and ways to support our girls.

It’s absolutely packed with lived experience educators, teachers, speech pathologists, lawyers, doctors, psychologists, advocates, artists, allied health and so much more.

I learned so much from last year’s conference and it’s tremendous value at just $50! Parents, teachers, grandparents, allied health and #neurodivergent people of all ages and stages will find something wonderful in here.

Don’t miss it! https://ylbconference2023.vfairs.com

I’m Speaking at the National Education Summit in Brisbane

I’m very pleased to announce that I will be presenting the opening session of the ‘Diverse Learners Symposium’ at the National Education Summit in Brisbane, in August this year.

The title of my session is “Reimagining Autism: Myths, Autistic Truth, Cultivating Empathy”.

If you’re heading to the summit, I’d love to see you there. If you’re still to get tickets, you can find them here.

I’m looking forward to engaging with teachers, principals and therapists in ways that help shift the negative bias towards autism and help us to embrace our young autists, encouraging and supporting them to flourish authentically.

I’m also authentically super nervous (speaking is not my comfortable space) but I am proud to be there as a contributor to the growing number of autistic voices in public spaces, working for positive change. I will be sweaty, and shaky, and probably mix up a few words. But I will be there.
