💙💛A Letter From Your Non-Verbal Child💙💛
Dear Mum and Dad,
I see you.
I see the way you watch me when you think I don’t notice.
The way you hope for words.
The way you celebrate every tiny step forward.
Please don’t ever think my silence means I have nothing to say.
My silence is full —
full of love,
full of trust,
full of feelings too big for words.
When I squeeze your hand, I’m saying, “You’re my safe place.”
When I rest my head on your shoulder, I’m saying, “I feel safe with you.”
When my eyes search the room and find you first, I’m saying, “You are my home.”
And thank you…
for finding places where I don’t have to explain myself.
Thank you for bringing me somewhere like Amazing Abilities —
where I am not the “different” child,
where I am not measured by milestones,
where I am simply accepted.
There, I am included.
There, I am understood.
There, I belong.
You fought for that.
You fought so I could have spaces that celebrate me — not try to change me.
In rooms filled with sensory lights, laughter, movement and kindness…
I am not silent.
I am seen.
And Mum and Dad, that’s because of you.
You are my voice when I need one.
You are my strength when the world feels overwhelming.
You are the reason I get to grow in places built on love and inclusion.
Even if I never say the words out loud…
Please know this:
I love you.
I am proud of you.
And I feel your love in every single thing you do for me.
Always your child 💙💛
