Kerryn Burgoyne was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of 30, back in 1998, a time when very little was known about the condition, especially throughout the 70s, 80s, and even much of the 90s. Understanding and navigating “the world” proved to be both significant and deeply challenging for Kerryn. Between 2005 and 2013, Kerryn undertook a personal life journey to move beyond the immature patterns of the past. This transformative period shaped Kerryn into the determined, strong-headed, and resilient individual she is today. During this time, Kerryn also wrote and developed six self-help life course books under her business brand—many of which, especially the autism-focused ones, gained remarkable popularity. These resources have supported countless individuals and families across the globe. Today, Kerryn Burgoyne is a renowned international keynote speaker on autism, regularly invited to major conferences around the world. Her voice brings authenticity, education, and hope to the global autism community. Kerryn is now preparing to launch her book collection on prominent autism platforms in both the USA and Australia, continuing her mission to inspire and empower others living on the autism spectrum.
