Autism Educator
Alice brings 12 years of lived experience of neurodiversity, accessing and navigating various
diagnostic processes, the NDIS, allied health and other therapies, support services, inclusion, early
childhood intervention, and navigating the Tasmanian education and health systems.
Alice is a member of the Tasmanian Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases Network (TRUDN) and has participated in various research conducted by UTas, and the University of Melbourne and Sydney. Currently, Alice is in the process of completing her Bachelor of Health Science with a view to move onto a Masters of Speech and Language Therapy.
Alongside this knowledge and experience, Alice has particular interest in social justice, self-advocacy, and utilising strengths-based approaches. Alice was drawn to Autism Tasmania to help the autism community be better understood, heard and celebrated.
Autism Tasmania acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal people as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work. 
Our logo symbolises the rare native Tasmania orchid (Thelymitra or sun orchid). This fascinating plant is a significant part of the flora of Tasmania. It's flowers are blue, pink, or yellow. This logo inspires our mission. Just like the autism community, this extraordinary plant blooms "only when the conditions are right!"
