Understanding starts with you! By taking time to learn, reflect and act, we can help create environments where Autistic people feel understood, included and supported - not just for one day, but every day. #WAUM2026 aspect.org.au/waum

Wonderful to be back at Aspect Western Sydney in Wetherill Park to catch up with students and celebrate the latest Transurban Community Grant awarded to the school. This Grant funding of $9,975 enhances Aspect Western Sydney's STEM program with resources integrating into their specialised curriculum, which will enable Aspect students to develop vital skills and confidence, preparing them for future work opportunities. Thank you, Transurban and congratulations Aspect Western Sydney! @NSWLabor @ChrisMinnsMP @RyanPark_Keira @pruecar @AspectAus @Transurban @nswparliament

We had the pleasure of welcoming a group of students for a special familiarisation tour of Sydney Airport. 🌻 Navigating an airport can be challenging when you have a hidden disability — that’s why we’ve partnered with @AspectAus to help make the journey smoother, more inclusive, and a whole lot friendlier. Thank you to @Qantas for helping us host the tour. Shoutout @gracefitz_9 @7NewsSydney for featuring it on #TheBrightSide.
For this group of neurodivergent kids, today’s airport visit was a big deal, a trial run through busy Sydney Airport, complete with a ticket on a big jet plane, as they prepared for a special adventure. youtu.be/KS97P1BoNU0youtu.be…

Grief is not only about losing a loved one. For Autistic people, it can also be felt through changes in routines, the loss of cherished objects, or shifts in daily life. Listen to the #podcast now on you favourite podcast app. #autism player.captivate.fm/episode/…
