INTRODUCTION I arrived in Australia, three years ago, to study at the Australian National University (ANU). My student life was filled with excitement, joy, and challenges. I encountered lots of challenges throughout my journey at the ANU. There were some that I was not able to fully overcome. Sometimes, these challenges made me feel that I’d not be able to complete my degree. However, thanks to the support from various people, I managed to complete it last July. At the ANU, I not only made lots of precious friends and memories, but also found my role models, learned the importance of empathy, diversity, support, and inclusivity, and acquired passion to advocate for disability rights, inclusivity and accessibility. This is my reflection on my journey at the ANU as an international student with autism.
