From Challenges to Inspiration: How Our Journey Shaped My Sensory Clothing Business
Do you ever look at your child and marvel at how much they’ve grown, both physically and emotionally? When my son was born, he fit perfectly in my arms—a tiny bundle of warmth and potential. Born blind and later diagnosed as autistic, his path was always going to be unique.
Today, as I look up at him, taller than me now, I am struck by the incredible journey we’ve shared.
Every milestone - no matter how small (or late) is a victory. Each step forward a testament to our resilience & determination. Do you remember celebrating the little wins that meant so much? We certainly did (& still do!)
Seeing him now, towering above me, fills me with awe. This young man, who once needed me for everything, is now navigating the world with his own strength and spirit. His height symbolizes the growth we’ve both experienced. That feeling of mixed pride, nostalgia (& worry!) watching your child become their own person…
Our journey has had its challenges. His unique perspective on the world has opened my eyes to the beauty of diversity and the importance of empathy. Learning and growing alongside your child in a way you never expected.
It was these very same challenges that inspired me to start my sensory clothing business. To create clothing that would provide comfort and ease for individuals like my son. Families & individuals like yours. ♥️
As he is a teenager now, I’d like you to know that I am committed to respecting his wishes regarding what we share on social media. His privacy and comfort are paramount, and I will ensure that anything shared reflects his boundaries and desires only.
Teenage years are certainly a different ballgame. Do you have one? Are they taller than you too?
I love to know. Kelly xx
