January 2025 heralded the release of the Australian Government’s first National Autism Strategy. The highly anticipated report lays out “a vision for a safe and inclusive society for all Autistic people in line with international human rights”, the goal: “to improve the quality of life for all Autistic people in a way that is meaningful to them.”
Lofty ambitions considering the vastness of the Autism Spectrum.
Understanding Autism is key to raising awareness and creating that safe and inclusive society, which means speaking to people living with Autism and caring for those who are affected. All of whom will tell you a different story unique to them…
Raised on a property in rural Australia, Mandy Jeppesen is ever grateful for the farming lifestyle, providing the building blocks of her values that continue to serve her through life’s challenges and rewards. She and her husband Tony continue to farm, whilst raising two boys on the spectrum.
Mandy credits her father for her hard work ethic and appreciation of nature. Qualities that formed the foundation of her grit and gratitude that she’s passed on to her children.
