Dayna Morris | Autism NZ | Navigating the Autism Journey: A Parent's Insight

Navigating the world of autism as a parent is a complex and inspiring journey. Each child with autism has their own unique path, and as parents, understanding and supporting them requires patience, empathy, and creativity. For both Dayna and myself, recognizing and accommodating our children's sensory sensitivities has been crucial. From advocating for their needs to seeking support from healthcare professionals and community resources, this process has been pivotal in setting us on a path of understanding and adaptation.
Embracing our children's individual strengths and interests has been a significant aspect of our journey. Dayna found that her daughter found solace and fulfillment in creative activities, while my daughter's love for Dungeons and Dragons has been a milestone in her journey. These experiences have not only enriched their social skills but also encouraged them to explore other creative outlets, fostering a sense of autonomy and belonging.
Proactively seeking out support networks and resources has been instrumental for both of us. Connecting with other parents and accessing valuable programs and services tailored to the needs of children with autism has provided a sense of community, understanding, and practical strategies to support our children's growth and development.
As our children transition into adolescence, creating supportive and inclusive environments remains a priority. Tailored educational programs, understanding sensory needs, and promoting independence are essential components in fostering a safe and understanding space for our children to thrive in their own unique way. Our journey is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of families navigating
