I am who I am 😂 

And if we're being honest... I really don't think being "that parent" is a bad thing.

Would I love to be chill all the time while just trusting that everything is happening how it should to ensure my child is set up for success at school? Sure, of course I would! 

BUT, if you are parenting a child with a disability or autism, you know that's unfortunately just not the reality. 

So I'd much rather advocate for my child and make sure their needs are met than keep the peace just to be liked by others.

What about you!?
