Hi, I'm Mercedes.

About Me

I am a Canadian public health nurse and a parent to an autistic child. Through my platform, Autism Out Loud, I share all-aspects of our family life, resources, tools, and education that help families navigate health, sensory needs, inclusion, and advocacy in real-world ways. My content blends professional insight with lived experience to make complex topics accessible and human.

I also share our family’s travel experiences, highlighting how seeking joy helps support regulation, connection, and peace for neurodiverse families, while encouraging families to claim the joy, rest, and memories they deserve.

My platform offers trusted, advocacy and lifestyle-driven content rooted in accessibility, dignity, and authenticity.
