Hi, I’m Angus Appleby, I manage awareness, marketing, IT, photography, website and more! Since early 2018 I have been guiding Different Journeys on all things in the digital space. It’s incredible to witness firsthand the positive impact we’re making in the lives of so many people, and I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such a passionate team. This organisation injects so much positivity into the world; you can see how amazing this impact is by attending an event or listening to staff. It is a one-of-a-kind community that’s constantly evolving and I am so proud to be a part of it.
Different Journeys would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the different lands on which we meet today. We respect all Aboriginal Elders past and present We aim to collaborate with our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander friends in the autistic community to connect, empower and support each other and exchange isolation, prejudice and ignorance with connections, hope and community. We acknowledge that the connection to autism and lived experience is our common ground. We acknowledge, respect and maintain that our custodians have cultivated these lands and we continue to learn together.
