Raising a child with Autism can be stressful at times. Parents need to be on top of the game because they need to keep their child from running away, manage meltdowns, wrangle with teachers about special education needs, avoid sights or sounds that overload his senses, the drive to therapists or doctors.
We are always talking about how we can help Autistic children, what are the signs and symptoms, activities and toys that could help them but we forget to appreciate the mother that has stayed strong throughout.
Watch how Gopika Kapoor, a mother of an Autistic child and a therapist at Ummeed makes it sound so simple and gives us the goosebumps with her experience.
