Reframing Autism is different. We are a charity run by Autistic people, for Autistic people, and for our families and allies. Everything we do is informed by our own personal lived experiences as Autistic individuals ourselves, who love, work with, support and parent other Autistic people. But we also look to the most innovative, respectful, inclusive research, coproduced with the Autistic community, to supplement our knowledge and experiential expertise.
This combination of lived experience and research means that Reframing Autism offers a respectful, affirming, and evidence-informed approach to Autism.
We respect all neurodivergences, and uphold the worth and dignity of the full diversity of humanity.
We accept the reality of neurodiversity, and work to build self- and social acceptance. We work to foster acceptance and inclusion.
We embrace all diversity. And we embrace our Autistic identity by nurturing Autistic culture.
We empower the Autistic and Autism communities alike to focus on thriving, and we encourage Autistic people to be active, autonomous, and self-determined citizens of their communities.
At Reframing Autism, we are passionate about creating and sharing opportunities for diverse Autistic voices to be heard. Watch this space for roles that we are actively recruiting for!
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 Amangu, Awabakal, Bindjareb, Birpai, Whadjak, Wiradjuri and Yugambeh 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 and present, for their wisdom, their resilience, and for helping this Country to heal.
