About the episode

A new campaign is encouraging Australians to engage in everyday actions to dispel misunderstandings around autism. A survey of more than 1,000 Australians has found 45 per cent had only a limited understanding of the lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. Advocates say societal attitudes can have a very significant impact on the quality of life of Australians with autism - including their employment and educational outcomes.
