Navigating Parenthood Infographic
Being a parent is never easy, and the challenges grow even more complex when raising a child with autism. This project was deeply personal for me, as I am the proud parent of a wonderful little one with level 2 autism. The journey my partner and I embarked on after the diagnosis has been an uphill battle, full of emotional highs and lows. Yet, through it all, our relationship with our child remained unchanged—anchored in unconditional love and understanding. The research I conducted and the inner struggles I faced while creating this project taught me an invaluable lesson: it’s okay to be vulnerable and reach out for help. There are services available to guide parents in managing their emotions under stress, and accepting that support has been life-changing. Developing this infograph was no easy feat; it underwent multiple revisions, and there were moments when my confidence wavered. However, encouragement from my peers helped me find value in the process and appreciate the final outcome. For a first attempt at illustrating an infographic, I can say I’m proud of what I accomplished.
