How do we get autism support right in Aotearoa New Zealand?
We want to understand your experiences and opinions of current supports and what you think is needed for the future.
Have your say! Take part in an anonymous survey that will take up to 20 minutes for most people to complete.
The survey is open to autistic people, parents/carers, family/whānau, professionals, researchers, and policy makers.
You can go in the draw to win one of 100 Prezzy Cards valued at $25 each.

Alternative survey options
You are welcome to have a support person help you complete the survey.
Paper copies and easy read versions of the survey are available.
You can also complete the survey with support from a member of the research team via a telephone, Zoom, or face-to-face interview.
Completing the survey in this way will mean that your responses will not be anonymous but will be confidential to the research team.
We will endeavour to support completion of the survey in another language upon request.
This research has been approved by the Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee (Application number: 30857)

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
