Since our return Iris is much more confident and outgoing, talking and playing more, dressing up and pretend play. She is still interested in cooking and her life skills are improvedShe is also more flexible and doesn’t get so stuck on things and some of her repetitive behaviours have settled down or in some cases stopped altogether. Her abilities to handle noisy environments are much better now and supermarkets aren’t a problem anymore. Basically she is more adaptable and easy going than she was, going with the flow and handling life without it stressing her out like it did.

The transformation was wonderful to watch and reminded me that there are no limits to what you can achieve. I wanted to share some of our journey to celebrate our incredible planet that needs to be protected and of course how “Different is Brilliant” with Iris Grace.
