About Me

Welcome to AuDHD Rabbit!
 

I'm Jodie, an Autistic/ADHD (AuDHD) mum of 2 AuDHD kids and 2 (awesome) house rabbits.

 

I live in Perth, Western Australia (although I'm originally from the UK and arrived here via New Zealand) and I am a passionate advocate of intersectional Dis/Ability Justice - and social justice in general.

​

I'm a qualified early childhood and primary teacher with a Masters of Inclusive Education and this site was orginally focused on inclusive education, but has since expanded to disability and inclusion ore generally. 

 

I'm no longer teaching because I can no longer work in such an exclusionary system, and I now work as a lived-experience project co-ordinator for a disability advocacy organisation.

​

I have recently completing my Master of Philosophy Thesis, researching Intersectional AuDHD Identity, Wellbeing and Belonging. This research is grounded in Critical Dis/Ability Studies and Neurodiversity Studies, and applies a Neuroqueer and Dis/Ability Justice lens.

 

I'm looking forward to sharing my research in the coming months!

 

I also recently started my PhD, researching the role of social media in supporting neurodivergent youth to connect with others and advocate for change  (you could say research is my 'special' interest!).

 

^ I use disabled instead of people with disability as a political statement about the social construction of dis/ability
