Aspect Autism Friendly has partnered with BreastScreen NSW to improve breast screening accessibility for Autistic women, who currently have significantly lower screening rates than the general population, despite the life-saving importance of early detection.
As an organisation dedicated to working alongside Autistic people to create inclusive communities and support individuals to live their best lives, on their own terms, Aspect is deeply concerned by recent public statements made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that perpetuate harmful and outdated views about autism.
