autism

I reflect on raising my son with autism and what his journey reveals about care, disability support, and inclusion in Australia.

“There are two kinds of people who will thrive in the age of AI Tradespeople. And neurodivergent people.” No, it’s not that simple.

The depths of disinformation are still yet to be reached, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr claiming that circumcision and Tylenol use cause autism.

We’re witnessing a dangerous pattern of harmful claims labelling the natural variability that comes with being human as maternal “failures”.

When Donald Trump claimed that Tylenol causes autism, he reignited a dangerous cycle of guilt, shame, and confusion for women.

Trump claims he and RFK have delivered on the promise to reveal cause of autism. But his ‘link’ to paracetamol in pregnancy lacks evidence.

A new initiative aims to improve accessibility for autistic women to receive life-saving mammograms, amid a gap in screening rates.

RFK Jr.’s characterisation of autism as a “pandemic” targeted vulnerable families already struggling against structural barriers.

Porscia Lam explains how she navigated full-time caregiving for her son, with personal and professional growth.

For all women, society’s ‘good girl’ expectations can be suffocating. For autistic women like me, these patterns become amplified to dangerous extremes.

On International Day of Persons with Disability, we’re highlighting five women who have thrived in art, literature, screen and dance.
