“I think it's important for people to realise that disabled people can be successful.”

Peta Hooke interviews Amelia, a queer, autistic and very opinionated social justice advocate (her words). 

Amelia combines the professional expertise as a social worker with her personal understanding of the intricacies of living with a non-obvious disability and talks about some of the unique challenges that often go unnoticed. Amelia demonstrates how someone can use the Sunflower to be seen and validated without explaining.
