Join me TOMORROW at #WomenInLanguage2022 for... ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธMultilingual Parenting and Special Needs Children ๐Ÿงฉ Hereโ€™s what to expectโ€ฆ Multilingual parenting has its many challenges and rewards. But what about neurodivergent children and how they acquire languages? My aim with this presentation is to provide a down-to-earth, transparent look into my autistic son's journey growing up trilingual. He began showing evidence of speech delay and several other developmental delays around his second birthday. Now that we have an official diagnosis and are looking into services for him, I thought it would be helpful to share our experience with other parents and guardians in the language learning community. I will share honest ways Iโ€™m approaching this journey with my son. Hopefully sharing my story will encourage other parents and guardians who are helping special needs children learn languages. Get your ticket for the whole event 4-6 March! I'll be presenting at 9 AM PST |11 AM CST| 12 PM EST! #multilingual #asd #autism #spanish #japanese #speechdelay #languagelearning

The hospital gave my son this adorable plush pillo The hospital gave my son this adorable plush pillow before his procedure yesterday. He needed tubes in his ears because of constant ear infections. He's been struggling with them for the past 6 months. For each and every ear infection, I worked from home while my little guy screamed and cried. I prayed each ear infection would be the last. I knew I couldn't rely on my soon-to-be ex-husband. I learned to rely on myself. The last time I saw my ex in person, he refused to cooperate with co-parenting. Our son was in middle of what would be the first of many ear infections. I managed by myself. Taking care of a special needs toddler is a lot of work, but I'm honored to serve my child. I have everything I need to get through any challenge. And I know I can turn to supportive people for help. I don't expect anything from anyone anymore. So this huge plush pillow was a nice surprise ๐Ÿ˜

I felt trapped in my own home. Often while I'm driving I break down into tears because I can't believe I stayed in such a relationship for so long...โฃ โฃ I wasn't sure what the person across from me was going through, but I felt that the least I could do was comfort them. โฃ โฃ Because I know what it's like to need a good cry. โฃ โฃ To have your vehicle as the only safe place where tears can flow freely. โฃ โฃ To not be OK but powering through every workday like you are. โฃ โฃ I was waved away but I checked in with them one more time before reminding myself that I needed to get to work. โฃ โฃ After work, I noticed a sticky note on my windshield. Here's what the person wrote to me: โฃ โฃ ๐˜๐˜ช! ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ธ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ <๐Ÿน ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ, ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜ฉ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ!โฃ โฃ You never know what someone is going through.
