Hello, I’m Kerrin
I’m the founder of Aspie Answers, an author, resource creator and someone passionate about making information easier to understand and everyday support easier to find.
Aspie Answers has grown from my own lived experience, years of learning and a desire to create practical resources that feel welcoming, respectful and genuinely useful.
This page is a chance to meet the person behind the project, discover some of the experiences that have shaped my work and find your way to more of the Aspie Answers story.
The Person Behind the Project
I’m Kerrin, based in New Zealand, and I’m the person behind Aspie Answers.
My work has developed through lived experience, writing, learning, community conversations and a growing interest in turning information into resources people can actually use.
I enjoy finding ways to take subjects that may feel complicated or overwhelming and present them in a clearer, more practical and approachable way.
Over the years, that has grown into books, online content, workshops, downloadable resources, learning materials and the wider Aspie Answers project you see today.
Some of the Hats I Wear
Different parts of my experience and work have helped shape Aspie Answers over the years.
Experience Has Shaped How I Create
My own experiences have helped me understand how valuable clear, practical and respectful information can be.
Everyday life can contain a mixture of strengths, interests, creativity and possibilities alongside moments that feel confusing, demanding or overwhelming.
I know what it can be like to search for information and find that it is scattered, overly complicated or difficult to turn into something useful in daily life.
That experience continues to influence how I approach Aspie Answers: start with understanding, make things clearer and create tools that people can adapt to their own lives.
One Size Does Not Fit Everyone
There is no single way to experience neurodivergence and no single strategy will work for everybody.
I believe people deserve information that respects individual differences and gives them choices rather than telling them there is only one “right” way to manage everyday life.
That idea is one of the foundations of the resources I create.
What Matters to Me
I want the things I create through Aspie Answers to be practical, respectful, accessible and compassionate.
I don’t pretend to have every answer. I want Aspie Answers to keep learning and growing while providing information and tools that can help people make sense of their own experiences and discover approaches that work for them.
Sharing Through Books & Resources
Writing has been an important way for me to share experiences, ideas and practical understanding.
The Everyday Life of an Aspie
My first book, published in 2016, sharing experiences from everyday neurodivergent life.
Love, Life, Aspie
An eBook exploring lived experiences, relationships and neurodivergent life.
Navigating Life as an Aspie
A paperback sharing personal insight and practical understanding.
Sharing, Speaking & Community
Aspie Answers has also given me opportunities to share information and lived experience beyond webpages and downloadable resources.
- Book readings at New Zealand libraries
- Autism education workshops
- Podcasting and audio content
- YouTube and online content
- Community conversations and awareness activities
Connection Matters
Some of the most meaningful parts of Aspie Answers have come from connecting ideas with real people, real questions and everyday experiences.
Those conversations continue to influence what I learn, what I create and where Aspie Answers grows next.
The Aspie Answers Journey
Aspie Answers did not become what it is today overnight.
The project has developed over the years through writing, YouTube, podcasting, books, events, the website, resources and, more recently, the growing Companion Universe and digital projects.
Rather than squeezing that whole history onto this page, it has its own home where the story can be explored properly.
What I’m Building Through Aspie Answers
Today, the project brings together several different ways of learning, finding support and accessing practical resources.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
