Original caption

When my son‘s nervous system is overwhelmed, and he can’t regulate or communicate his feelings, I always make sure to pray with him. Autism parenting isn’t always easy. I know i get lots of judgement of how I handle meltdowns but there is no perfect way to do this. Im trying my best. There are going to be hard moments, and moments that leave me emotionally exhausted. But those moments don’t define my son. They remind me how important patience, grace, and understanding are. We’re learning together, one day at a time. And I’ll keep choosing to reflect my faith & love, even on the hardest days. 💙🧩 #autism #autismawareness #specialneeds
