Posted by Callah Barnes for College of Arts and Sciences

Kaelynn Partlow was diagnosed with autism at the age of 10. She is best known for her appearance on the Netflix series Love on the Spectrum, where she became a recognizable and relatable voice for autism advocacy. Through her social media platforms, Kaelynn reaches millions with a message of meaningful inclusion, practical strategies, and systemic change.

She is the author of Life on the Bridge, a book that draws from both her personal experiences and professional expertise to bridge the gap in understanding between autistic and non-autistic people.

Since joining Project Hope Foundation in 2015 as a Registered Behavior Technician, Kaelynn has played a key role in leading therapy sessions, mentoring staff, developing training materials, and providing nationwide autism education as a public speaker.
