🧩 World Autism Awareness Day🧩
Posted by Kira Homan on
If someone had told me 6 years ago I’d have a child with additional needs, i probably would of shrugged it off and thought ‘ahh it’ll be easy’...
when Zyon was a baby I knew something was different I used to just say ‘he’s just ignorant he don’t wanna listen to no one’.
But always felt as if there was no ‘spirit’ there, not much going on. He didn’t really react to anything, look at anyone or play.
It was first brought to our attention at his 10 month check that he didn’t reach ANY milestones.
I still shrugged it off, I found myself getting so deeply offended anytime anyone suggested there could be something going on with him. It took me about a year to accept my son was different, unique.
And all I wanted to do was wrap him up and protect him from the world!
On 15th December 2018 Zyon was officially diagnosed with Autism, sensory processing disorder and significant global delay. He still doesn’t speak, his understanding is very limited, everything still goes in his mouth, he terrorises his siblings and often has me wondering how I’m going to cope another day.
BUT Zyon is the funniest, happiest, cheekiest, most endearing little boy ever and Our lives would be pretty boring without him. Mummy loves you Zyon more then anything else in the world and I promise you I will always be there to protect you when the world gets a little to much and a little to scary.. 💙💙
