What autistic Australians want businesses and services to know about accessibility
Published 1 month ago
Description
A national study has detailed the experience of autistic Australians in accessing services in areas like healthcare, public transport, retail, education, employment and recreation. The research found barriers were encountered frequently and across a number of everyday services in different sectors, contributing to a cumulative toll of negative experiences. Advocates say the solutions exist, but improved awareness and support is needed to implement changes that put the lived experience of autistic Australians at the centre.
