مختلف، وليس أقل. فريد، وليس مكسور. 💡✨ #التوعية_بالتوحد#مختلف_لا_أقل#انظر_إلى_القدرة#اليوم_العالمي_للتوعية_بالتوحد#مستشفى_أستر_رويال_الرفاعة#أستر_عُمان#عالج_في_عُمان#رعاية_صحية *** Autism is not an illness or disease. It simply means the brain works differently, not incorrectly. 🌍💙 Being autistic is about unique strengths, perspectives, and ways of thinking. So let’s replace misconceptions with understanding, acceptance, and support. Different, not less. Unique, not broken. 💡✨

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! #PGC believes that anything is possible! On 21st of March we come together in support to share the joy and love we have for those born with Down syndrome! 🙌🙌  

👗 Summer Means my little assistant / chief mess maker is back in my creative studio space 👗 Parenting someone with a disability forces you to be creative and extremely patient, similar to parenting in general but it’s a little more hard core... with less sleep and surviving one emotional land mine after another. As a creative person I see the world in ways that differ from “the herd” just like Blake. Because he is not much of a conversationalist (he’s primarily non-verbal) we communicate in every other way but with speech. Neither of us fit into the boxes that society has so ignorantly created for us. We have much more in common than one may imagine. Every day this child teaches me something about the world and about myself. Together we are creating the life we want and the world we want to live in through advocacy and education about Down Syndrome, Inclusion and people with Disabilities 👩🏻‍🎨 x 👨🏻‍🎨 #MySon #Parenting #Disability #SeeTheAbility #Creativity #MotherAndSon #MyBoy #BeautifulBoy #Education #Advocacy #Inclusion #love #Creative #Motherhood #disabilityparenting #specialneedsparents #specialneedsparenting #Specialneedsparent #NonVerbal #sensoryprocessingdisorder #momlife (at Evolution Vintage Style & Creative Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byq5e47AN9e/?igshid=44xjdc6zixl6
