Jeanette is an autistic self-advocate and travels around Australia giving presentations about autism. She is an ambassador for many autism organisations and has been employed full-time in a professional role with the Australian Public Service since 2007. She hosts a support group for autistic women, has her own internet-based radio show entitled Jeanette's Autism Show and a significant profile on social media.
