When your child receives a diagnosis, the world shifts—but your love stays the same.

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.
