Story
Hello everyone,
I will be loosing the beard & hair in the name of Autism Awareness. I hope that everyone can band with me and give to what is an amazing cause. Autism Awareness Australia have a simple goal- to improve lives of all Australians on the autism spectrum and the families who love them.
In recent times I have heard people call me ‘JC’, ‘ZZ Top’, or simply ‘the guy with the hair’ and yes, even ‘Jason Momoa’s twin’ to name a few (admittedly that last one only my Wife calls me).
Whilst this has always brought a smile to my face, it’s time to start looking like my photo ID, and do some good for the ASD community.
As some of you may know, Autism Spectrum Disorder (or ASD) is something my little family lives through every day, some of those days are very hard, some are quite sad, some require a very steep learning curve, and others are filled with laughter, smiles and joy, the tough part is not knowing what comes next.
Whilst I myself have support, there are families out there that are not so fortunate and it would be great to know that we are helping them get through their very hard days.
Please donate and help those in need, large or small, every little bit counts.
If you can’t donate!
Please spend 10 minutes out of your day sometime this week watching a (youtube) video or reading about Autism.
It would mean a lot, not just to me, but to all those families with ASD in their lives knowing that there is one more understanding person in the world.
Thank you for your time!
Jake

Autism Awareness Australia ltd
Our goal is simple: to improve the lives of all Australians on the autism spectrum and the families who love them.
We empower parents and carers with quality information and resources. We provide targeted educational programs to families, professionals and the broader community. We support inclusion for people on the autism spectrum… and we have some fun along the way too.
Our campaigns and events have reached millions of Australians. We are proud to have delivered all of our programs free of charge across the country, including rural and regional communities.
Our mission is to spark positive change by increasing education and understanding of autism in Australia. We hope our efforts will lead to earlier diagnosis, access to effective interventions and more meaningful supports to help people on the spectrum reach their full potential.
