Parenting Autism : Overcoming my son Picky Eating Habit

My journey of motherhood, shaped by the experience of parenting autism, is a story of deep love, resilience, and personal transformation. From the moment my son Zayan entered my world, I found myself navigating an uncharted path, one filled with challenges, triumphs, and a constant quest for understanding. As a mother to a child on the autism spectrum, I embraced the role of advocate, teacher, and protector, learning to see the world through his eyes and discovering new ways to connect and support him.
Leaving behind my career as a family physician, I fully immersed myself in Zayan's world, determined to give him the care and attention he needed. I became his voice when words were hard to find, his safe space when the world felt overwhelming, and his biggest cheerleader in every small victory. Together, we’ve tackled the sensory sensitivities, the meltdowns, and the communication barriers, finding creative ways to celebrate his strengths and nurture his unique brilliance.
My motherhood journey is one of learning, adapting, and growing with Zayan. Through the use of visual schedules, sensory toys, and social stories, I’ve empowered him to manage transitions and express his emotions. Whether it’s implementing mindfulness techniques, celebrating his love for math, or finding joy in his progress with language development, I’ve dedicated my life to helping him thrive. This journey has also shaped my personal evolution as a mother. I’ve cultivated patience, learned the importance of celebrating small wins, and embraced the beauty of neurodiversity. Along the way, I’ve used my talents as a graphic designer to create resources not only for Zayan but for others in similar situations.
Through it all, my love has remained steadfast, unwavering, and fierce. My story of motherhood and parenting autism is not just about the challenges faced but about the endless love and dedication that has guided Zayan and me on a path of discovery, growth, and understanding. It is a testament to my strength as a mother and my unwavering belief in my son’s potential.
