21.01.2022 Listen to what your child needs these holidays. Photograph of various Christmas themed items on white wooden boards. Items include iced biscuits in the shapes o...f stars, trees and gingerbread people, cookie cutters, Christmas tree foliage, lights, and star anise. In a white transparent box, black text reads: 'Listen to what your child needs these holidays. Small accommodations, such as quiet space, familiar foods, and downtime, can make all the difference to an Autistic child's enjoyment of Christmas. Reframing Autism, 2020' See more



17.01.2022 AUTISM & EYE CONTACT: For many Autistic people, eye contact can be a highly uncomfortable and even physically painful experience. Whether it's in a classroom ac...tivity, Zoom session or social conversation, forcing eye contact can also significantly reduce the processing of what’s being said. For more Autistic insights, please see: From Judy Endow, "Autism & Changing Classroom Strategies" (tinyurl.com/3xxmksjf) From artist Beth Wilson, "Eye Contact", a comic strip explanation (tinyurl.com/2nnhvadr) From Amythest Schaber, "Ask An Autistic: What About Eye Contact?" (youtu.be/QXM9Mj5Zd7I) Special thanks to Isabella for letting us use your beautiful art. [Image description: Purple background with white text that reads: Autism & Eye Contact. "Eye contact is not necessary for listening or paying attention. Many Autistic people find it easier to listen and process auditory information when we don't have to also process visual information. Forced eye contact for the sake of 'appearing normal' can be challenging, tiring, even painful. We avoid it for a reason. Respect that." ~ Anonymous. To the left are three small images (same image, increasingly zeroed in) of a hand drawn girl with blonde hair and blue eyes that are looking away. Underneath it reads "Art by Isabella (at age 7)." I CAN logo is in the lower right corner].

17.01.2022 Here are some helpful tips from the PDA Society for making Christmas/the holiday season less overwhelming for Autistic people.

15.01.2022 Same goes for re-reading favourite books! [Lavender background with cartoon image of a person with blue hair, wearing comfy clothes and eating popcorn while str...etched out in front of big screen. Text reads: "Why Rewatching shows/movies helps. We know how they will make us feel, so we can use them to regulate our emotions. When we're dealing with uncertainty, they offer predictability & safety. They require less mental energy. They bring back happy memories of the first time we watched them."@JustGirlProject (Instagram)] See more

03.01.2022 AUTISM & EMPATHY The stereotype that Autism = 'lack of empathy' can produce some very harmful consequences and it does not respect the lived experience of so m...any Autistic people.

02.01.2022 Timeless advice from Kyal, one of our awesome I CAN mentors and a huge history buff : "For anyone who wants to help make our world better for Autistics, here is... my advice: seek out primary sources, just as you would if you were studying history. When it comes to Autism, the primary sources are people who are Autistic. Get in touch with I CAN, follow Autistic bloggers, connect with Autistics in your community, ask questions, move outside your comfort zone, learn more so that you will know and understand more. We’re all in this together, and we still have work to do to make our world more inclusive." #ActuallyAutistic #AutismRethink

01.01.2022 The most important fact about the ATAR: Your ATAR does not define you. The ATAR is simply a tool used by tertiary institutions for a specific purpose: getting y...ou into a course. It doesn't reflect who you are, does not determine your capabilities and is not a measure of your worth. Remember, there is no pass or fail ATAR. In fact, to be eligible for an ATAR you must have already successfully completed the VCE. If your ATAR isn’t high enough to get you into your dream course, know that you have options. It’s worthwhile contacting the institution to discuss alternative pathways as there are often other pathways into your chosen course or field. There is plenty of support available if you need any help after receiving your ATAR. If you have any questions about your results, you can contact your school or the Post Results and ATAR Service (pras.resultsandatar.vic.edu.au). If you need any mental health support, you can access support on the phone or by chat/email at headspace , Kids Helpline Official, or Beyond Blue . When you receive your results tomorrow, remember to keep them in perspective. Celebrate your achievements and remember that your ATAR is just one of many tools for tertiary entrance, and doesn’t define who you are.
