Ayisha Ankrah

Expert by Experience & Proud Mum

Ayisha Ankrah is an Expert by Experience and a devoted mum to three incredible children: her autistic young son and her two outstanding daughters, who shine as young carers and everyday champions of inclusion.

Through her family’s journey, Ayisha has developed a deep, authentic understanding of autism, one grounded in love, resilience, advocacy, and hope. She is passionate about celebrating neurodiversity and helping others see autism through the same meaningful lens her family embraces each day.

Ayisha’s daughters play a unique and powerful role in shaping this perspective. As young carers, they support their brother with empathy, patience, and joy, modelling what true acceptance looks like. Together, they celebrate autism not as a challenge to be fixed, but as a beautiful part of who their brother is. Their home is filled with understanding, humour, and a commitment to seeing the world differently because of him.

Ayisha utilizes her lived experience to empower other families, contribute to community support networks, and promote greater awareness and inclusion. Her voice is grounded, real, and informed by everyday life—making her a relatable and trusted advocate for parents, carers, and professionals alike
