🪂 Emilia’s Leap for Autism: A Skydive with Heart and Purpose
This September, Emilia will jump from 10,000 feet to raise funds for Spectrum of Misconception, a social enterprise that empowers adults with autism and complex needs through purposeful activity, independence, and community connection.
Emilia, who has autism and ADHD herself, understands how tough the journey can be—especially when it comes to employment and feeling truly included. “I’ve found so many areas of life challenging,” she shares on her JustGiving page. “That’s why I want to raise money for an organisation doing incredible work to change that.”
Spectrum of Misconception is known for its compassionate leadership and impactful approach, helping autistic adults build confidence, boost mental wellbeing, and thrive within their communities.
What sets this fundraiser apart is Emilia’s personal commitment: she’s covering the cost of the skydive herself, ensuring that every donation goes directly to the organisation’s mission. Her jump is scheduled for 13 September 2025, and she hopes it inspires others to embrace bold action and support inclusive causes.
