In this special episode of Exceptional Minds with RoboKind, we’re revisiting a powerful Autism Acceptance Month conversation with Dr. Lisa Kershaw.
Dr. Kershaw shares the deeply personal story that shaped her life and career: her journey as a mother to her son, Clarence, whose autism diagnosis came years after early signs first appeared. What began as a family’s search for answers became a calling. From learning in isolation, to helping teachers better understand communication, to stepping into special education and statewide autism leadership, Dr. Kershaw’s story is one of persistence, compassion, and purpose.
This episode is a reminder that acceptance goes far beyond awareness. It means seeing the person first, recognizing that communication can look different, and building the kind of support systems that help students and families thrive.
