Takeover Lismore winner, Artesia – Bundjalung Country I never understood people. Things like behavioural differences, misunderstanding social norms, lacking empathy, and communication issues all had a huge impact on my life. I'm not ashamed of my autism, and I'm slowly learning how to do better, like making eye contact when I speak to people and being more social. The research on autism in women is behind, and I'm passionate about helping more people understand.
