Kerrin Maclean
Kerrin Maclean is the creator behind Aspie Answers, a neurodivergent-led platform focused on accessible education, gentle support and practical resources for everyday life.
Through books, study guides, workbooks, journals, printable tools and growing collections, Kerrin shares lived experience alongside clear, encouraging and practical information.
Her work is designed for neurodivergent people, families, carers, teachers, support workers and anyone seeking information that feels more welcoming and easier to understand.
What I Write About

Lived experience, identity, understanding, self-advocacy and everyday autistic life.
ADHD & Executive Function
Practical learning, behaviours, planning, organisation, focus and day-to-day support.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Emotional regulation, calm, stress, self-care, reflection and supportive coping tools.
Relationships & Social Life
Communication, social understanding, boundaries, relationships and real-life experiences.
Everyday Life & Independence
Cleaning, routines, practical living, confidence and manageable everyday strategies.
Creative & Accessible Resources
Journals, colouring and activity ideas, Companion resources and accessible editions as the library grows.
