Amanda has experience navigating the diagnostic process, NDIS, education system, allied health therapies and early childhood services as well as local support programs. This knowledge sees Amanda offer her practical experience and strategies with both a relatable and informed background.
Alongside this knowledge, Amanda aims to highlight autistic experiences and provide opportunities for the autistic community to connect. learn and support one another.
She believes in promoting autistic culture and neuro affirming identity to continue working towards inclusion for all autistic people and their families.
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!"
