2025 – Autism and… Making the Invisible Visible.
In 2025 our Autistic Advisors chose a powerful theme for our Journal: “Autistic and… Making the Invisible Visible.” Photo credit: Luella Wheeler While there is much to celebrate about being Autistic, this theme highlights many overlooked aspects of autism—those complexities and experiences that so often come with autism. Or, as Tyrone Cook describes in his article, the ‘flatmates’ that live with his Autistic self. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has shared their stories, artistic talents, insights and expertise. Together, we explore some of the unseen realities that are part of daily life for many Autistic people.
2023 – Autism and Anxiety
What a rich feast of information and celebration we have for you. While Autism and Anxiety can be a heavy topic, our intention is to bring knowledge and hope as our generous contributors share research and insights. If, after reading these articles, you would like more information, research or strategies on autism and anxiety, please contact us on live chat, email or phone with any specific queries or concerns.
2021 – Authentically Autistic
Covid Brings Mixed Blessings – This is our first journal since 2019, with Covid providing all manner of interruptions and disruptions. But as we are all discovering, Covid has also brought opportunities. So we are doing some new things here at Altogether Autism. The first is our Autistics 4 Autistics (A4A) Zoom meetups.
Stories as gifts create meaning – I love stories. Steve Ballantyne, from Story IQ, ran a workshop at the recent conference on Strengthening Through Stories, hosted by Community Waikato. He described stories as gifts, with facts wrapped in emotions that create meaning. Positive stories release oxytocin, according to Steve, which is associated with empathy, compassion and connection. In this edition of our Journal, we are delighted to give you the gift of oxytocin, as we feature Jessica Falconer’s new children’s story, Beth and the Bracelets.
