Over the years, I’ve relaxed my approach to Christmas with Tilly – no longer fighting my own feelings to find a way for her to get on board with it in a neurotypical way.

What I hadn’t realised until he wasn’t here is how much he balances our family out.

It will be my legacy to this life I didn’t expect to have, and a celebration of the most unique and wonderful mother and daughter relationship that I didn’t even know existed.

Who will fight for you the way that I do?

I am your voice, your advocate, your mediator, and your researcher.
