Intersectionality

It is important to acknowledge the intersectionality between an Autistic person and other experiences of structural and systemic discrimination, where an Autistic person may belong to different population groups and may be subject to overlapping disadvantages.

To address this, state government agencies must embed inclusion into actions, initiatives, policies and services with diverse groups in mind.

Initiatives are designed to support Autistic people broadly across intersecting identities, even where actions are not explicitly stated to support a targeted priority group.
