🧩 It’s autism awareness month and this is my little one who is on the spectrum.

It took me a little while to come to terms with it, and with each passing day as it gets harder it gets branded deeper in my DNA.

I want all parents especially Albanian parents to know that it’s ok. I know the last 3 years we have opened up to one another and we have created a little community. I am so proud of the parents that have opened up to me and helped me through the stigma. I am also grateful to the parents who use our store as practice and how to shop with your kiddos who are on the spectrum. These are life skills we don’t have safe spaces to practice in.

Staten Island in general has been the most supportive place for our little family. It almost seems like every other person I meet is a teacher or a para and they all are invested in helping our kids progress. It’s beautiful to see the passion and dedication, this fuels us as parents on the days that we run out.

And then you get a little message out of the blue from a social media friend, completely disrupting our routine and chaos in the best and most heart warming way possible. Making us stop and just embrace the moment.

I couldn’t accept it for me but I know my little ones school needs it. I didnt get a chance to take a picture of the full trunk we were able to fill but the one thing she was able to carry I had to take keep the memory.

To the person who thought of me, may all your Duas be answered and prioritized , you are a kind soul and I am grateful for your support since day one. I can’t wait to see you excel and propel in this journey we call life.

Forever grateful,

Megi 🤗
