It might look that way, but we’re really just better at recognizing autism.
The definition has expanded, kids are being screened earlier, and more families are finally getting answers.
“My eight-year-old likely wouldn’t have been diagnosed if it wasn’t for her brother being nonverbal.”
That experience opened my eyes in a way I didn’t even know I needed.
Autism has always been here — we just didn’t always catch it.
There’s more help and support now than ever before, but it starts with awareness and reaching out.
And if there’s ever a time patience truly matters…
this is it. 💙
