Jenna Gensic, M.A. is a freelance writer and disability advocate. She is the creator of the Learn From Autistic People website and has been regularly engaging with the Autistic community and sharing Autistic expertise over the past decade. She is passionate about harnessing the power of human experience through storytelling.

After her son was diagnosed with autism, she quickly realized the limitations of pursuing medical, psychological, and behavioral advice from non-Autistic “experts” and began seeking advice from Autistic individuals themselves. Her regular engagement with the Autistic community has led to the creation of several books, including The #ActuallyAutistic Guide to Advocacy: Step-by-Step Advice on How to Ally and Speak Up With Autistic People and the Autism Community, and The #ActuallyAutistic Guide to Building Independence: A Handbook for Teens, Young Adults, and Those Who Care About Them, as well as the Learn From Autistic People website, which connects parents, caregivers, teachers, and professionals with Autistic expertise.
