At our Parliamentary Breakfast yesterday morning, we launched our housing initiative, in partnership with Equity House. We were so proud to advocate to members of parliament across parties, alongside the Autistic and wider Autism communities and so many supporters and change-makers. This video is an introduction to the extraordinarily exciting journey Autism NZ and Equity House are commencing to create homes and equity for the Autistic community. If you want to know more, or want to work with us to make this a reality, please register your interest on our website (link in comments below). https://lnkd.in/gtF6u9ku

Wondering how to host a quiet hour at your workplace? Here's 4 tips: 1. Host a morning tea or lunch with everyone's safe food - a safe food is a food that doesn't cause stress or sensory overload and may be comforting. They're important for people with sensory sensitivities. 2. Turn down the lights and music. Also consider using neutral smelling cleaning products as scents can be very overwhelming for some people. 3. Use visual displays that reflect your workplace culture. Our display poster is available on the resources section of our website. 4. Wear hoodies! Many members of the Autistic community use hoodies to reduce sensory input.
