Autism diagnosis with Bec Street
Bec works for charity Autism Spectrum Australia, as a Sunflower Advocate and is based in Sydney Australia. Since joining the charity 7 months ago Bec has discovered that she has many traits that sit on the autistic spectrum.

In the conversation Bec explains how she felt as a child growing up and her previous employment experiences where adjustments weren’t made for her neurodiversity.

Now that Bec is working in an inclusive environment it has made the world of difference to her working life. Being able to be her authentic self means that she doesn’t feel as though she must mask and can approach her role fully focused on the job in hand. It also means that she is using less of her energy reserves.

We talk about meeting in the middle and all things neurodiverse!
