Katie Koullas

Katie Koullas is the head of the autism charity Yellow Ladybugs and a passionate advocate for the rights of autistic individuals and their families. As a mother of an autistic child, Koullas has been vocal about her concerns regarding government policies affecting children with developmental delays, particularly in response to the proposed Thriving Kids system, which she believes could undermine vital supports for children with autism. She emphasizes that the complexities of autism cannot be dismissed as merely 'mild' and argues that all autistic experiences deserve recognition and support.
