About Us
We help parents find the power of their voices through providing the skills to better advocate.
Our history
Autism Sprinter was started by Yahaira Lopez. Yahaira knows the struggles of Autism firsthand—she has twin boys on the Autism Spectrum. As any mother knows, young boys can be a handful. Young twins add even more complications. And having twin boys with different levels of autism adds even more difficulties. After a couple years of venting over social media, a friend suggested she start a blog to share her experiences. Thus, Autism Sprinter was born. Yahaira is dedicated to Autism Awareness and sharing her experiences so others know they’re not alone.
