Today is World Autism Awareness Day. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣I want to help parents and loved ones of people affected by autism to not feel so alone in their journey. I want to challenge stereotypes and the incessant policing of how to talk about autism that occurs through social media. ⁣⁣⁣

Being a parent is hard enough on its own, but raising a severely disabled child comes with its own set of struggles—we do not need constant judgment from strangers. We are doing the best we can to help our children and deal with our own feelings. And occasionally there are moments when we’re not doing the best we can. And that’s okay. ⁣But I promise you, when we fail, we’re the first to be disappointed in ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I hope you find relief in knowing that there are a lot of us out there, on this lonely journey. We are not alone. You are not alone.⁣⁣⁣
