Our vision is for every autistic person to live life well and our purpose is empowering and supporting autistic people to achieve this. We are a team of dedicated and caring professionals who are passionate about what we do.
As an inclusive, neurodiversity affirming organisation, we do not and never will endorse the use of punishment of any kind or any practices intended to prevent an autistic person from expressing their autistic traits.
We are a truly values-driven organisation and our core values are at the heart of the way we work and what we do every single day.
We love hearing from people - so don't hesitate to contact us with a question or to find out more about any of our services.
Please let us know how you'd like us to respond - by phone, email, or perhaps an online meeting.
English is a Second Language? No problem - we can easily arrange an interpreter - just let us know and we'll take care of it.

Autism Abilities acknowledges that people use different words to talk about autism and that each person will have a way of talking about autism and about themselves that they like best. Some people in the autistic community like to say ‘autistic person’ (identity-first language), some like to say ‘person with autism’ (person-first language), and some are fine with using either.
Autism Abilities tends to use identity-first language. This means we will usually say, 'autistic person' or 'autistic people', but please let us know if you would prefer us to use person-first language.

Autism Abilities is an autistic and neurodiversity affirming organisation. Diversity and inclusivity are important to us, and we are committed to ensuring our workplace and services reflect this.

We are committed to the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, the cultural safety of children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with a disability.
