PhD Research Candidate, School of Early Childhood and Inclusive Education, Queensland University of Technology My PhD explored how primary carers of autistic children conceptualise wellbeing and the factors that promote and diminish wellbeing in this group. The findings contribute to the development of more reflective policies, systems, and services to support better outcomes for autistic children and those who care for them. This work is supervised by Professor Beth Saggers and Dr Lyndal O'Gorman. I am also a sessional academic within Inclusive Education and autism as well as a mother to an autistic young person.
