There is also a Q&A session which focusses primarily on accommodations and support.
The audience for this presentation is primarily parents and carers of Autistic children, though education professionals might also find the contents relevant to their work.
Note that this presentation will refer to Australian laws and to the specific Australian educational context.
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.

![Today we wanted to share an autistic perspective on workplace adjustments and self-advocacy in the workplace. The team at Reframing Autism aim to live our values, in establishing workplace adjustments as the norm for our staff. But, not all workplaces have this culture, and some self-advocacy is needed, as guest writer Justine Field bravely shares in her article, Establishing Workplace Adjustments : How I Learned To Advocate For My Autistic Needs.
Justine emphasises that; “Truly inclusive cultures appreciate that disabled or non-disabled – everyone works differently and may require adjustments at some time in their lives.” We agree, and this is the perspective required to improve workplaces for autistic, neurodivergent and disabled people, as well as destigmatising our presence and required accommodations in the workplace.
