Nadene is an Autism mum and advocate for parents/carers in the community. Nadene is mum to Tegan who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in 2011, Tegan is now 20 years old and thriving.

When Tegan was diagnosed, Nadene found she could not meet others due to a full-time job and only found information online about the condition. Nadene really wanted to meet others on the same journey as her, after sitting on the idea for a long time Nadene created Voices for Autism. Voices for Autism started as a monthly coffee morning to meet other parents/carer. Now heading into it's 6th year, Voices for Autism is now officially a charity.

In 2021 Nadene wrote a children's book for her son Tegan called Awesome Super-Duper Me. The book is a short story about Tegan and ASD, she wanted to encourage positive conversations around Autism whether you are affected personally or not.

There is so much work to do within the community and beyond surrounding Autism, Nadene is trying to make a difference no matter how small it may be!

Nadene's recommended read is: The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida 

We also refer to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
