  • Isla Howard and Renai Buchanan
    Celebrating neurodiversity with Isla and Renai 18 March 2025 In honour of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, Isla Howard and Renai Buchanan are sharing their personal journeys to inspire change and advocate for neurodivergent individuals. As members of the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) Disability Access and Inclusion Advisory Group (DAIAG), they’re working to ensure that those with disability, including neurodivergent individuals, are supported and heard. Isla Howard describes her journey with autism as one of self-discovery. Growing up, Isla excelled in many activities but often felt different. It wasn’t until a doctor suggested autism at age 15 that everything began to make sense. Diagnosed with Level 2 autism, Isla explains, “It was reassuring to know that I wasn’t going crazy for believing I was different from others.” While accepting her autism wasn’t easy, Isla has come to see it as an i...
