Hello I’m Rodney Mills. I’m a 30 year old man with Autism. I have lived an amazing life that has seen me go from having no voice to becoming the empowered person that I am today.

Having a voice is essential for everyone irrespective of whether you have a disability or not. In my case it’s in these typed words that you’re hearing my voice. I use facilitated communication to type these words. This involves a facilitator holding my arm or shoulder to help me to better use my arm to type.

My name is Korey, and I have cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, depression and anxiety. I live in the Blue Mountains, NSW, with my partner. I am currently studying natural science part-time at the University of Western Sydney.
