Who We Are

Hi, I’m Yessenia Darna—teacher, autism advocate, and mom of three, including two incredible boys on the spectrum. I built this space because I remember what it was like to feel overwhelmed and unseen. The Spectrum Info Hub exists to make sure you never feel that way again.

Our Mission

We provide clear, compassionate, and community-driven guidance for families navigating autism—without shame, fear, or “fix-it” thinking.

We believe autism is not a problem to be fixed, but a perspective to be understood.

We believe in kindness with backbone, information without overwhelming, and humor to cope.
