For the third consecutive year, Maud, dietitian and Chair of Gold Coast Health’s Neurodiversity Employee Network, shares her artwork for Autism Acceptance Month.

After many experiences of being misunderstood as a multiply neurodivergent person, Maud found in drawing a way to communicate what words sometimes cannot. 

“For me, drawing is less about creating art and more about advocacy. Through my drawings, I aim to build shared understanding and challenge stereotypes about autistic and other neurodivergent experiences,” Maud said.
