    "When I fly I am a very different person, I am my true self"

    With his passion for promoting real inclusion for people on the Spectrum, Hayden McDonald (22) is Australia's first "Unofficial" Pilot who is Autistic to fly solo across Australia.

    "Don't want to take that risk and doesn't want to be Neurodiverse Friendly" is when Hayden speaks with Angus and Dylan on the significance of dismantling barriers between people with disabilities and the aviation workforce.

  • April Lockhart ('Disabled Fashun Girlie' w Amniotic Band Syndrome) | #101
    Apr 7 2024

    “I’ve always been talking about my disability through the lens of fashion”

    With over 120k followers on social media, April Lockhart's limb difference has now become her "greatest accessory" as she educates the public about her disability.

    April's ability to tell stories through her outfits on social media is one of passion and authenticity as she chats to ListenABLE on how fashion comes first over function every single time.

    In addition, April shares her "mixed relationship with Fashion Week," discussing how she and other disabled people created an inclusive project in the New York Fashion Space, an event where it is already very easy to feel excluded whether or not one has a disability.
