I’m Christina Abernethy, creator and owner of Love Hope & Autism.

I am a dedicated wife, mother of three, and passionate advocate for people impacted by disabilities. I have coordinated events to fund research, supports and service dogs for families. I have served on local committees, coached an adaptive cheerleading team, and won awards for successful fundraising endeavors including those for “Team Bubba,” honoring our autistic son.

I am proud to be the coordinator for Changing Spaces Pennsylvania, a movement to build accessible restrooms with powered height adjustable adult sized changing tables across communities to promote inclusion. I am working with legislators to pass a bill in Pennsylvania that would require such facilities in hospitals, airports, museums, rest stops, sports arenas and more. I had the privilege of speaking at the state capitol on two different occasions to share our story and the need for inclusive and accessible restrooms. We are also working diligently to create change within the building codes that would require height adjustable adult sized changing tables in family restrooms across our country.

I am passionate about creating change for a more inclusive and accessible world for ALL people. I am committed to spreading a message of heightened awareness and acceptance of differences, ultimately inspiring hope. I appreciate your time and look forward to connecting with you.

Thank you for being here!
