    This day used to be called World Autism Awareness Day, but the voices of the Autism community were loud. They know that most people have heard of Autism, but they also know that people don't understand it. Which is why it's so important to learn about the wide range of experiences that people with Autism experience! We recommend tuning into the work of Autism advocates like - Yenn Purkis (from our fabulous PAG!) - Daniel Giles - Chloe Hayden - and ASPECT Image description- Tile 1: A dark purple background. In white it says "World Autism Understanding Day." There is a drawing of three friends talking in the center. The person in the middle is wearing noise defender headphone and an Autism badge. Everyone is happy. There is the Autism infinity symbol in the bottom right and left corner. #Disability #Safety #CoDesign #Consultation #WAUD25 #Autism

    One of the things we love about our job is working with people with disability and other organisations! We've been so happy to work with Amanda and the South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability (SACID). This video talks about what an online friend is and tips for safe and fun online relationships. There is also an easy read book that goes alongside this video. You can read the book on our website in the resource section - it's called "What is an Online Friend?" The link to our website is in our bio 😊 #Safety #OnlineSafety #OnlineSafetyMatters #Relationships

    The I in the I START Tool means Include. This means that -I am included in all ways. Like you will include me in all decisions about me, my care and services. -I have choices. -I can say yes, no or I do not know. Real social and sexual safety gives means that the person with disability has agency to not only discuss their options but also to make real choices and change. It means that we must include them in all aspects of planning and decision making - including providing appropriate information and decision making supports where needed. Image description: Tile 1 - A blue background with a lighter blue blob inside. Inside this it says "Unpacking the I Start Tool. Part 3" There are two people at a meeting. One person asks the person in a wheelchair a question. The person in the wheelchair says yes. Everyone has some paper for notes in front of them. Tile 2- The same background and imagery. The text now says "Include. You will include me in all decisions about my care and services."
