DisAbility In Summer Bay At Last!
April 9, 2009
I’ve always loved Home And Away, just as much as I’ve always loved Neighbours. I have always had one little problem with Home And Away, however. While Neighbours has made several attempts to cover DisAbility over the last 23 years, Home And Away has never featured a DisAbled character in over 20 years.
Never, that is, until now. Brendan Austin, who has autism, hit British screens in today’s episode. I’d like to thank the people at Home And Away for creating him. It’s about time Summer Bay had a DisAbled resident. I hope he stays around for a long time to come, and that the storyline represents him, and his DisAbility, in a positive light.
