  1. It’s a Journey of Joy and Challenges: Every day brings unique joys and challenges. It's a journey full of love, growth, and resilience.

  2. Support Systems are Crucial: Family, friends, and community support can make a world of difference. Never underestimate the power of a strong support network.

  3. Advocacy is Key: Parents often become advocates, fighting for their child’s rights and opportunities in education, healthcare, and community life.

  4. Milestones May Look Different: Every child grows at their own pace. Celebrating small victories ("inchstones") becomes a beautiful part of the journey.
