This service is proudly funded and supported by:

Autism Queensland recognises that language is personal and respects every person’s right to choose how they are described.

Where a person’s preference is unknown, we use identity-first language (e.g. ‘autistic person’) across our resources and communications. Where a person expresses a different preference, we aim to use their chosen terminology. Some previously published materials may use different language and will be updated as part of our ongoing review processes.

In diagnostic, clinical, and formal contexts we may use the term ‘Autism Spectrum Disorder’ (ASD), consistent with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) and Australia’s National Guideline for diagnosing autism.

You may choose to access independent translation, interpreting, or advocacy services to support communication with Autism Queensland:

• Access Hub provides communication support through the National Relay Service, including Type & Listen.
• Ask Izzy helps you find independent advocacy services that can support you to you understand your options, communicate your wishes, and make informed decisions when accessing services.
