It’s a new year!

For many of us, a new year comes with expectation, excitement and hopes for wonderful things ahead. It’s an opportunity to leave behind the struggles of the year that has passed.

But what if the new year brings trepidation, or anxiety, or a sense of having to start all over again? If you are feeling this way, or someone you support is feeling this way, sometimes it’s important to remember that when the date clicks over to January 1, we simply continue our journey. It can be settling to remind ourselves that we are essentially still the same people that we were the day before.

Here at Creating Connections Australia, our team is looking forward to a year ahead of new learning and discovery – both personally and professionally.

For our team, autism is a huge part of what we all live everyday, and one thing that we know for sure is that it’s important to never think that you completely know autism (or any other neuro difference, for that matter). We know it’s important to constantly be open minded and to be prepared for a journey that will always involve learning and discovery. So we’re excited at what 2016 may bring in terms of new ideas and new discoveries for us!

What is it that you are looking forward to this year?

And what is it that you are happy to bring with you from 2015?
