Autism Awareness Day-April 2nd, 2025

Autism Acceptance Month in April is a chance to celebrate, support and include autistic students. It is part of the United Nation’s sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on Wednesday 2 April 2025.


To mark Autism Acceptance Month, we would like to share some resources that support inclusion that have been developed for the Department of Education by autistic-led organisations and lead researchers in autism and neurodiversity:


I CAN Education has tips for becoming a champion for neurodivergent students and a graphic novel to help students navigate high school

Yellow Ladybugs’ All Brains are Different program introduces the concept of neurodiversity in an affirming way

AllPlay Learn’s Inclusive School Communities: Monash University’s AllPlay Learn team has developed resources on how to create inclusive school communities where everyone feels welcome and supported

Amaze has produced videos and fact sheets for parents on how to include families of autistic children

Positive Partnerships runs webinars and has practical tools and information sheets to support autistic students.

More Support

The Department of Education has established the Diverse Learners Hub to meet the needs of diverse learners.

The hub provides evidence-based advice and resources on best-practice inclusive teaching practices for supporting autistic students and other diverse learners.
