There’s something indescribably special about nonverbal autistic love. They don’t need to say “I love you” for you to feel it in every part of your soul. It’s in the way they sit beside you, reach for your hand, look for you in every room, trust you with their safe space or simply exist near you in peace.

Some people say “I love you” every day but forget to show it. Autistic love is different. It’s pure, honest, overwhelming and felt in a thousand silent ways. Even when they’re not near, their love still wraps around your heart.

Nonverbal autistic children teach you that love was never meant to be measured by words alone. No pretending. No conditions. Just real love, felt with your whole heart.❤️

Thinking about going back to education as a mum especially an autism parent?

Here’s the truth no one really says…
Nothing changes if you sit and wait for it to.

There’s no perfect time coming.
No moment where everything suddenly settles, the house is calm, the routine is easy and you finally have “space” to focus on yourself.

That moment doesn’t arrive.

So you either stay where you are,
hoping things improve
or you make the change yourself.

And making that change? It’s uncomfortable.

It’s choosing growth when you’re already overwhelmed. It’s relying on the education system for your only safest and reliable form of childcare.
It’s building a better future while still surviving the present.
It’s showing up tired, distracted, stretched thin and doing it anyway.

Some days will feel impossible.
Some days you’ll question why you even started.

But this part of your life?

It won’t last forever.

The long days, the constant pressure, the feeling of being stuck it’s a chapter, not your whole story.

Every assignment you submit, every late night, every moment you keep going when it would be easier to stop..that’s you actively changing your future.

Not waiting. Not wishing.
Building it.

So if you’re thinking about it, this is your reminder

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to decide you’re not staying where you are.

Because the life you want isn’t going to appear one day
it’s something you create, piece by piece.

And one day, you’ll look back and realise
this was the moment everything started to shift.

you built the future you wanted, you didn’t wait for the help to come… YOU changed everything.

D I A G N O S I S D A Y 🧩

Today, we finally had the confirmation ASD.

Which wasn’t news to us and everyone who knows Amaya. We’ve always known. Today wasn’t a shock it was validation. Validation for every time I trusted my gut. Every time I questioned myself and every time I was doubted.

She is still my happy girl. The same beautiful soul, the same laughter that fills a room, the same unique way of seeing and feeling the world. A diagnosis doesn’t change her it just gives a name to everything she’s been navigating all along.

But today still carries weight.

Because with that validation comes every memory, the hard days, the tears behind closed doors, the moments of worry about a world that doesn’t always make space for children like her.

We didn’t need a diagnosis to know who she is. But today, it feels like the world has finally stopped and said, “we see her too.”

To my girl you are never too much and never not enough. You are everything you’re meant to be, exactly as you are 💖

I love you endlessly my beautiful girl 💖

3.5 years.

Of waiting. Chasing. Being told “just wait.”
Of knowing, but not being heard.
Of meltdowns, sleepless nights and fighting for answers.

Today’s the day for my curly sue 🤍

This isn’t just an appointment it’s everything we’ve been pushing for.

So proud of my girl. Always.
The only way is up from here ✨

The night before my biggest baby turns six, I’m holding my five year old for the very last time. It’s the most beautiful kind of heartbreak. I’m so grateful to watch you grow, to see you become your own little person but a part of me aches to be selfish… to keep you small just a little while longer.

You’ve taught me patience I never knew I had, resilience I never knew I needed, and a depth of love I didn’t know could exist. Being your mum has reshaped me in ways I never expected.

Motherhood isn’t what I once imagined it would be. It’s harder, louder, more uncertain… but also more meaningful than I could have ever dreamed. Being your mum, being an autism mum, has opened my eyes to a different rhythm of life. You’ve taught me that progress doesn’t always look the way the world says it should. That the smallest steps are often the biggest victories. That communication isn’t just words, it’s connection, patience and understanding.

Because of you, I’ve learned to slow down. To notice the things I would have once rushed past the way the trees sway in the wind, the rhythm of the waves rolling in and out, the quiet moments that don’t seem like much but mean everything. You’ve taught me that life isn’t about keeping up, it’s about tuning in.

There are days that stretch me, moments that test me and nights where I wonder if I’m doing enough but then there are moments like this holding you closem, knowing how far we’ve both come and I realise this journey, exactly as it is, is the one that was meant for us.

I wouldn’t change it. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s ours.

So tonight, I hold you a little tighter. I breathe you in a little longer. And I thank you for choosing me, for teaching me, and for making me the mum I am today.

Happy almost 6th birthday, my love 🤍
