Not every parent chooses to share their child’s diagnosis publicly — and I respect that.
But for me, staying silent felt heavier than speaking up.
Yes, my child is autistic. And no, I don’t feel ashamed.
I feel proud — of who he is, of how far we’ve come, and of the love that defines our journey.
I understand that many parents may not be comfortable sharing this part of their life online. That’s okay.
But in my personal opinion, if we want a world that embraces neurodiversity, we need to show the world what it looks like.
Awareness doesn’t grow in silence. Acceptance doesn’t follow secrecy.
We speak not for attention — but for action.
For inclusion. For understanding. For a better future for our kids.
This is my story. These are my views.
And I will continue to share — with love, with hope, and with pride. 💙
