Why I Share Our Story
It’s about meeting the parents.
That’s why I do this.
Write. Share. Let people into our secret world of autism.
Your son reminds me so much of my son.
I found you years ago when I felt so alone.
You saved me. You don’t know it…but you did.
When I have a sad day your kid’s smiles bring me joy.
Thank you. You showed me this would be okay.
I don’t share for follows or likes. Or to be recognized. Or any other reason like that.
I share because the beginning of my son’s diagnosis was terrifying. And I felt so alone on this journey. Like it was just me. Just him. Just us.
And that’s not true at all.
I share to connect us. To bring us together. To give us a place to share the joy and the hard. And to normalize our lives.
You are never alone in the struggles you face mom and dad. We are out here.
Thriving. Living. Sharing.
Come find us. Lean on us. Let us carry the weight for a while.
And after, we will show you the bright side.
Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
