Violence Against Autistic Girls, Women & Gender Diverse Individuals (Royal Commission 2022)

Today’s episode is brought to you by Yellow Ladybugs CEO Katie Koullas, who presented during the Disability Royal Commission’s April hearing. Katie talks about the experiences of autistic girls, women, and gender diverse individuals, with a particular focus on family, domestic, and sexual violence. Please note that this episode discusses violence in all forms and may be confronting or triggering to hear. Viewer discretion is advised. We have also excluded the case study with Nikita who discussed her own experiences with violence as a neurodivergent person – if you would like to hear this, please visit the Yellow Ladybugs YouTube channel. We hope this will provide a valuable source of support for autistic girls, women, and gender diverse individuals, and those who support them. For additional support and resources, please see the show notes linked below this episode.
