I’m joining the movement to Run for Autism. But I need your help.

Why am I running 70km this October? Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. 

I received my official diagnosis of AuDHD earlier this year, which only confirmed what I had gradually come to suspect over my life. A lot of women receive late stage diagnoses due to the differences in presentation.

Throughout my life I was aware that I was different; that I struggled with things that seemed to come easily to others. I, like so many people with ASD, have also had a lifetime of trying to manage challenges with my mental health.

So far, this year has been a gradually process of self-advocacy, unmasking, and making changes and allowances in my life to help me navigate life a little easier.

However, mental health support in Tasmania, especially for those with neurodivergence, is almost impossible to access.

Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser. You’ll be helping more Autistic people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services. 

You’ll also give me the motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!
