We have released a five-part peer-led work resource for autistic and AuDHD people. This episode is based on Part 1 and Part 2 of the resource. 

Part 1 of this goes into finding the right work fit, understanding what 'fit' really means before you even think about job searching. It also goes through how monotropism, sensory needs, energy levels, values and special interests all influence the type of work and the type of environment that will feel sustainable, rather than draining or overwhelming. It acknowledges why many autistic and AuDHD people end up burned out, under-employed, or feeling like they are the problem in workplaces that were never designed with them in mind, and reframes this as a system issue rather than a personal one. 

Part 2 moves into the job search itself. Job ads. Applications. Interviews. Rejection. And all the hidden expectations that sit inside that process that many autistic and AuDHD people find exhausting, confusing or overwhelming but rarely see acknowledged in typical work advice. 

We hope you enjoyed listening!

This is a special series made possible through funding from the Information Linkages and Capacity Building Grant. 

We are deliberately bringing you this episode at a time when there has been a resurgence in harmful public narratives about autism, ADHD and neurodivergence – whether it is the media coverage given to out-of-date professionals making uninformed claims that autism and ADHD are over-diagnosed, or politicians dangerous crusades to recreate an environment of fear about autism and autistic people.

These narratives threaten to undermine the progress we have made in recent years to understand and embed neurodiversity as integral to our humanity. As an autistic-led organisation, at the forefront of changing harmful ableist attitudes, we feel it is more important than ever to counter this trend by reminding our community that neurodivergent people belong in this world, that they can find joy, and that they can celebrate their culture – that these things are powerful protective factors, not just for neurodivergent individuals, but for their families, communities, systems and society as a whole. Put simply everyone benefits when neurodivergent people are valued for who they are.

Which brings us to the details of this affirming and uplifting episode where we are delighted to share two celebratory and complementary presentations from the Yellow Ladybugs canon, delivered by two amazing neurodivergent humans with a deep passion for change:

  • Marie Camin, a multiply neurodivergent clinical psychologist, researcher and advocate
  • Allison Davies, an autistic advocate, educator and speaker

In the first part, Marie gives an honest, unflinching and ultimately uplifting presentation on Finding and Keeping Autistic Joy. She shares her lived experience, acknowledging that it is not easy being autistic in a world that doesn’t recognise your needs, but that there is nothing quite like the feeling of autistic joy—from special interests (or SPINS), and sensory experiences, to stimmy hands and finding neurokin. Marie shares her own experiences of joy, and brings her personal and professional knowledge into exploring how we can support our autistic young people to find and keep their joy- as a protective factor which can support their identity and their mental health and wellbeing.

Please note that Marie’s presentation does make brief references to sensitive topics including trauma, bullying, stalking, grooming, eating disorders, PTSD, abuse and domestic violence.

Allison then brings her strong personal voice to the topic of Exploring Autistic Culture. She explains that autistic culture is not just a concept or a neuro-affirming approach to care; it is something that has always existed – found in autistic families and communities. She reflects on how this looks different for every family and is filtered through our layers of privilege, safety, and capacity. And she explores some of the fundamental concepts that autistic culture requires all of us to understand, so that we may deepen our sense of who our autistic family is and how our culture can support us.

We hope you enjoy listening and we encourage you to reflect on Marie and Allison’s insights and wisdom from our conference archives, and to embrace their generosity in gifting us the many penguin pebbles and moments of authentic connection to be found in this episode!

We are proud to present this first episode in this series—a peer led discussion for families and carers of autistic girls, teens, and gender diverse youth on recognising and responding to sexual violence. This episode has been made possible through funding from the Information Linkages and Capacity Building Grant. In this important discussion, which draws on real lived experiences, you will hear from three expert panelists: First is Stephanie Robertson, an autistic occupational therapist who explains why building body awareness and interoceptive understanding is foundational to safety and empowerment for our autistic young people. Second is Detective Leading Senior Constable Teresa O’Sullivan - a specialist in sexual offences and parent to an autistic child - she shares practical strategies on identifying grooming behaviours, supporting disclosures, and navigating both in person and online risks. And finally, Emma Jacques, a neurodivergent parent of autistic teens. She shares her no nonsense, real life advice on enthusiastic consent, boundary setting, cyber safety, and building a supportive network. The panel is hosted by Katie Koullas, CEO of Yellow Ladybugs, autistic/ADHD woman and parent to neurodivergent teen girls – who has a strong advocacy track record and deep passion around this topic. So what does this episode cover? - We provide clear insights into why autistic young people are statistically at greater risk of sexual abuse and violence, and discussion about how we can change these statistics - We share practical tools: how to teach body safety, name private body parts precisely, reinforce that “no is valid”, and role play boundaries around consent. - We give advice on how to support autistic young people in identifying their internal sensations (their interoceptive awareness) so they trust their own cues rather than rely on external validation. - We look at techniques for handling online risks—from inappropriate requests through to doxing—and for establishing trusted, safe people and networks. - We explore a gentle yet powerful script for responding to disclosures: “I believe you. You are not at fault. We will get through this together.” - We also cover support strategies for carers including grounding exercises, self regulation methods, and discussion around how our reactions can shape outcomes more than the event itself. Please note that this episode directly addresses sensitive and potentially triggering topics including sexual abuse and grooming. If you need to pause or step away at any point, that is perfectly okay.

This episode we will focus on Back to Basics: Learn How Classrooms Can be Inclusive and Affirming for Our Ladybugs with Em Hammond, Adina Levy and Ebony Birch-Hanger. We know many autistic students spend years believing they are broken, when really the system was not built for them. Safety in the classroom means not having to pretend. It means being able to stim, leave, speak up, and not get in trouble for being yourself. Today we will talk about what genuine inclusion looks like, exploring the essential building blocks for a neuro-affirming classroom environment. We will also be uncovering the hidden, and often unmet needs of our ladybugs, finding ways to support students who work so hard to appear just fine.

Advocacy can take many forms, from speaking up in a classroom to challenging systems that exclude or harm. For autistic girls and gender-diverse young people, advocacy is not just about raising awareness—it’s about being heard, believed, and respected.

We explore how advocacy can be empowering, how it can create change, and how to support young people in finding their voice.

Cultural identity, community connection, and intergenerational knowledge are powerful strengths—but systemic barriers, racism, and a lack of culturally safe support continue to impact too many families.

Burnout can build slowly over time, especially when young people are constantly masking, trying to meet expectations, or pushing through overwhelm.
