Meet Kerrin Maclean – Your Workshop Facilitator

Hi, I’m Kerrin, founder of Aspie Answers. I’m an advocate, creator, and educator passionate about making autism education accessible, uplifting, and real. Drawing from both lived experience and professional study, I help others find understanding, connection, and hope through learning and conversation.

My mission is to show that autism awareness is more than knowledge — it’s empathy, respect, and celebrating differences. Every workshop is built to empower, inform, and create lasting change in the communities we serve.

“Awareness is the first step — acceptance is where real inclusion begins.”
