Autism with Ashlee Law - Australia and New Zealand

The Sunflower Conversations

“People say to me things like, oh, you can't be autistic. That's not right. You make eye contact, or you do public speaking for your job… I didn't disclose it until I was forced to due to work issues.”

Peta Hooke interviews Ashlee, an autistic woman and a mother of three amazing children who are also autistic. Ashlee talks about coping with unexpected change, the challenges of invisibility and the pressure to disclose. She also talks about how wearing the Sunflower can provide comfort and a feeling of security to people with Autism and would like to see more of it in Shopping environments.
