Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look through a different lens. 

On this week’s show 

“Coming Out” 

When do you admit you have a disability, if at all?    

Whether it be applying for a job, meeting new people or dealing with someone behind a counter.  Sometimes we need to admit there is a reason we’re looking at something closer or not at all.  

Simon talks about disclosing you have a Disability when applying for work; Stephen K looks at the times when tripping over something forces the point; Emma gives us a more relaxed view on Disability; Lilli talks about the need to pick your person; Stevie E talks about the complexities of admitting you have Autism; while Heidi and Sarnya talk about how these issues lesson when you get older; while Shaun finishes things off with a dose or reality. 

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.   

You may also be interested in joining our choir of angels and telling your story.
