Kroz osobno iskustvo majčinstva i rada s autističnom djecom, Jasmina poziva na promjenu perspektive: djeca s autizmom nisu ovdje da ih "popravljamo", nego da nas odrasle podsjete na istinske vrijednosti života. Uče nas prisutnosti, autentičnosti i bezuvjetnom prihvaćanju. Iako je tijekom karijere stjecala značajno iskustvo u pravnim, organizacijskim i projektnim poslovima, po prirodi nije osoba koja se uklapa u unaprijed zadane okvire. Životna prekretnica dogodila se kroz majčinstvo djetetu iz spektra autizma, što joj je otvorilo oči za nedostatke sustava u podršci djeci s teškoćama u razvoju i njihovim obiteljima. Iz te osobne spoznaje 2018. godine osnovala je Udrugu za inkluziju i promicanje kvalitete življenja djece i mladih s teškoćama Frendofon u Karlovcu, koju i danas vodi kao predsjednica. U radu spaja znanje i iskustvo iz karijere sa svakodnevnim životom uz autistično dijete, stvarajući projekte i programe koji odgovaraju stvarnim potrebama korisnika, a ne samo administrativnim okvirima. Njezina misija je boriti se za bolji položaj autističnih osoba u društvu – kroz konkretne programe, edukacije, zagovaranje i podizanje svijesti o autizmu.
