“The content posted on Reframing Autism’s social media helps me better understand my own neurodiversity, and also reaffirms that I am not alone – many people share similar experiences and I am able to relate to them, which helps me to better accept myself after a lifetime of struggling in this area.”

“As a parent, I want my son to thrive as his happiest, healthiest, most authentic self and I have appreciated learning how I can best support him and also just the continual reminders to meet and fully accept him as he is and to value and celebrate the ways that he experiences and moves through this world differently than I do.”
We want to change the frame through which society views Autism. The frame through which we choose to see Autism is neurodiversity, which means that we see Autism as a valuable, worthy and naturally occurring brain difference.
Everything we do at Reframing Autism is guided by certain principles, including a commitment to:
The Reframing Autism team would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we have the privilege to learn, work, and grow. Whilst we gather on many different parts of this Country, the RA team walk on the land of the Birpai, Awabakal, Wattamattagal, Whadjak, Amangu, Bunurong and Kaurna Yarta peoples.
We are committed to honouring the rich culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this Country, and the diversity and learning opportunities with which they provide us. We extend our gratitude and respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to all Elders past, present, and emerging, for their wisdom, their resilience, and for helping this Country to heal.
