Thank you to the Daily Mail for this raw article on the challenges of isolation, lockdowns and Covid-19 for individuals on the spectrum and their families.
With the complexities of our world right now, it can be overwhelming for individuals on the spectrum and those who care for them. Autism and social distancing need to be shown a little understanding.
Spectrum Support officially launched our partnership with NSW Police and our jointly developed Autism & Law Enforcement training. This training is an Australasian first and both organisations are committed to the education program along with ensuring the safety of all individuals on the spectrum.
Kathrine Peereboom is one of the country’s leading autism experts and advocates and she is calling on families with loved ones with autism to focus on mental health. Peereboom is the mother of three severely autistic boys and founder of Spectrum Support, a national organisation dedicated to raising awareness of autism and providing education, training and support.
