11 Aug This Mission To Find Autistic Toddler’s Favourite Shoes Is Touching People All Over The Internet

The amount of time and effort parents spend looking after their children is astounding. We see so many mothers and fathers pushing baby carriages down the street or looking after their kids at family gatherings that it is easy to forget how difficult the whole endeavour really is.

And even parents themselves can overlook the little things that can mean a whole lot in the life of a young child. For instance, the search for comfortable shoes is a lot different when you are young than as an adult. Nowadays, I spot something I like, I see if they have it in my size, I try it on, then I buy it or move on.

For children this process doesn’t run so smoothly, with parents dedicating entire afternoons to shoe shopping, knowing that they will have to do it all over again once they’ve grown a little bit, leaving them with piles of shoes that are no longer used.

But this process, and others, are even harder when the child you are looking after is autistic. Of course there are plenty of different parenting techniques you have to employ, but there are numerous smaller things that you wouldn’t have even considered.
