Montana inspecting a sample. I always save these for him to open when he gets home from school. He loves to open these himself.💙😊 #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismjourney #proudautismmom

Some of my son’s drawings of Mowsem before the final pick of the Not Again 👕.

I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself here, I’m Montana’s mom. He’s the creator of Mowsem and I write the posts here. Today I’m wearing my favorite Mowsem hoodie, Don’t Panic, to my son’s checkup. I found it appropriate. 😉 #autism #autismmom #autismson #autismjourney #autismawareness #autismstrong #autismacceptance #autismfamily #autismstrong #smallbusiness #hoodie

Not again...... One of Montana’s favorite things to say and the reason he designed this shirt design.

Non-autistic people see autism as a great tragedy, and parents experience continuing disappointment and grief at all stages of the child’s and family’s life cycle. But this grief does not stem from the child’s autism in itself. It is grief over the loss of the normal child the parents had hoped and expected to have … There’s no normal child hidden behind the autism. Autism is a way of being. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion, and encounter, every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the autism from the person—and if it were possible, the person you’d have left would not be the same person you started with. This is important, so take a moment to consider it: Autism is a way of being. It is not possible to separate the person from the autism.
