I’m a proud autistic person, an artist and I run my own small business, “Charlie by Art” – www.CharlieByArt.com.au 

This artwork is called ‘Inside’. My art represents my personal interests and things I love, as well as my fears. The silhouette shows what it feels like inside my brain. I’m proud of being an autistic person and when I need support I know I can get it from my family and my teachers. 

A drawing that shows the words Star Wars in the place where the brain would be, a laptop and beehives with bees around them, a lighthouse and other abstract art.

YDAS

The Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) is an advocacy organisation that works with disabled young people aged 12 to 25.

We work with disabled young people in Victoria to make sure you can speak up and are being treated fairly. You can access our free advocacy service if you need advice or support.

We run programs so that you can learn to speak up for yourself and others. We talk with disabled young people about what matters most to you. We then help the government and other organisations understand those issues so they can treat disabled young people fairly.

YDAS is a core agency of Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic). YDAS was established in 2006 and is funded by the Victorian Government.
