Jamie Hearder

I am participating in the Run for Autism fundraiser and I need your help.

I am running 70km this October because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges in a world not designed for them.

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

Autism is not a disease. Autistic people are not broken. I am not broken. Autism is a neurotype, which means different not less. Autism can be disabling, often affecting my capacity to maintain my wellbeing, relationships or health. That does not mean I cannot do, but might mean I have a limited capacity.

There is strength in my Autism, a huge capacity for love, compassion, and special interests that allow me to express myself in a world that doesn't make sense to me.

This is part of my journey to learning and accepting and loving myself. And I want to help those like me to get the support they need to thrive.

Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser.  You’ll be helping provide early diagnosis, autism-specific education, and critical research into mental health issues experienced by Autistic people so they can access the support they need to realise their different brilliant®. 

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!
