Call for Stories: Afghan Autism
Parents -Your Voice Matters!
Being an Afghan parent of an autistic child is a journey filled with love, learning, challenges and far too often, SILENCE!
Share Your Story
In our culture, autism is often misunderstood. Many families suffer in isolation, unsure of how to speak up or who will understand.
But, the truth is: you are not alone! Your voice matters.
That's why I am opening up the Afghan Autism Parenting Journey Blog to YOU- fellow parents in the Afghan diaspora raising children on the spectrum.
Why Share Your Story
Because stories break stigma and help build connections!
Because your voice could inspire, educate, or comfort another Afghan family who is just starting out.
Whether you have faced judgement, found unexpected support or discovered a king of strength you never knew you had, your experience is valuable.

-
When you first noticed signs of autism in your child?
