No Parent Should Walk the Autism Journey Alone

At We Are Autism, we walk alongside parents and caregivers of children on the autism spectrum—offering guidance, resources, and a supportive community every step of the way.

Our Story

At We Are Autism (WAA), our journey is deeply personal and rooted in our own experiences. Growing up in Jamaica, we were never taught about developmental disabilities. Now, as a mother of a blended family, when our youngest child, Marcus, was diagnosed with autism and hyperlexia, we embarked on a journey of self-education and empowerment. To give Marcus the support he needed, I signed him up for services at home and school. However, not wanting to rely solely on outside services, I enrolled in and completed the Registered Behavioral Technician course. I also wrote and published an educational book titled "Marcus Good Boy" to answer children's and adults' questions regarding Marcus.

We aim to empower parents and caregivers by providing essential tools and fostering a supportive community. Our vision is to create a space where you can find accurate information, connect with others, and feel confident in advocating for your child’s needs.
