Here's the truth ⤵️ When your child is diagnosed with autism, a rare disease, or disability, you discover strength you never knew existed. It doesn't come all at once, and it's not built in big moments... But rather, it builds like a muscle over time through being challenged, making it through, healing, repairing, and becoming stronger. It comes from advocating even when your voice shakes, re-explaining the same diagnosis to 12 different providers, or standing firm in your child's potential even when others express doubt. THAT'S the kind of strong we find along the way. And though this path may not be what we expected for ourselves or our child, we keep pushing forward doing the best we can each day.
